Hi, i am a PR card holder in canada and i am sponsoring my wife from india, i am filling the application myself.

While filling the form IMM1344E , i have to enter my details, i am confused what should i enter in the , Family name and given name coloumnn there.

On my passport i dont have a last name, i only have given name.
 
Fill it as you passport information you did apply for PR yourself so do the same as you filled years ago for you. so just fill the given name.
 
CIC is well aware of this particular situation, have a look here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=014&t=4
 
Thanks Guys,

So, Since i dont have a Surname/Lastname, i should write my given names in the "Surname" fields in all the forms? and leave Given Name blank? Please help

As it says in the link I provided, you put "N/A" for given name.
 
I also do not have any last name in my PP. in my PR application I had filled "Nil". I am unable to access the ecas site as I do not know what they have entered . I have tried Nil, N/A, Not applicable, None etc. Still I am unable to succeed getting access to my file. Any thoughts / ideas?
 
When i am putting my name in the surname and putting N/A in surname its not validating the IMM0008 form and giving java error? any suggestions, what i am doin wrong..is this the write way to do it?
 
No surname is a problem in north America. Better update it. It is your Initial expanded.
