Name not same in degree certificate and passport, Please advise

[Vijay Mahantesh]

Hi,
My first name in degree certificate is mentioned as VIJAYMAHANTESH whereas my first name in passport and all other documents is VIJAY MAHANTESH. i.e. a space is missing between Vijay and Mahantesh. Please advise if this will cause an issue for Express entry or to ITA?

I am very much confused and need your help/advise in this perspective.

Your passport information is all important for all immigration purpose.. Therefore, your name in your passport should be applicable for all of your immigration documents.. Now you have two option..

1) Change your passport (My preference, i changed my passport as my signature in the passport was different than my other documents, and i couldn't take any chance)... Although keep in mind that your IELTS result (if you have any) may have tagged with your current passport.

2) In EE profile, use your name as mentioned in your passport.. Later after getting your ITA, when you need to fill up other forms, you will get fields where you can put Multiple entry for a single person's name in the Other Name section.. There you can provide the other name..


Check this link and check Personal details number 2 option where you need to put your other name..
