Name Discrepancies in Indian and Canadian Passport for Applying OCI Card

Hello,

I am a landed immigrant from India since 2014 March and a Canadian Citizen since 2018 June.

I want to apply for OCI Card. There is an issue with my name. In my cancelled Indian Passport, I have no Surname, I have only a given name and my full name "ABC DEF" is mentioned in the Given Name field of my cancelled Indian passport. But in my Canadian passport I have no given name and in the given name field it's mentioned as "XXX" and my full name "ABC DEF" is mentioned in the Surname field of my Canadian Passport.

I think the Indian Consultate cannot process my request as there is a discrepancy in my name. In this case what should I do? Do I have to contact a Law Office and request them to provide me a document (Sorry I don't know what that document is called) stating that I am the same person and the name is mentioned differently in Indian and Canadian passports?

Thanks,
