Just to note, I don't know whether they have changed the rules later (because the 'Do not enter' clause was not there in cic website initially).
I agree. This clause seems to be a recent one and the information on CIC asked people to mention 'NA' or 'Not Applicable' as rightly pointed out by others before.sumeshpunakkal said:Just to note, I don't know whether they have changed the rules later (because the 'Do not enter' clause was not there in cic website initially).
I tried 'Do not enter' and left the field blank on Given Names and only filled the 'Family Name/Surname', it works on the 'Family Information' screen but in Personal History etc, it wont accept and also it deleted all my family member history.sumeshpunakkal said:Just to note, I don't know whether they have changed the rules later (because the 'Do not enter' clause was not there in cic website initially).
write your whole name in family name and leave given name blankfabricland said:Friends. I read this complete thread but still there is some confusion in family/given name which need to be entered into federal forms mainly 0008 generic form.
Till date I have mentioned my name as 'x' (space) 'y'' in allmost all of my docs, where X is my first name and y as last name and never used any surname. In my passport, family name is blank and my complete name as X (space) y is mentioned in given name field. Now what shud i fill in the generic form field of family name which is mandatory to be filled and given name which is not mandatory. .? Thanks in advance.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=014&top=4Thanks, so from latest 2 replies it looks like this:
For IELTS and WES: Use given name for given name and (.) or (-) for surname/family name.
For CIC Express Entry: User given name for Surname/family name but for First name got three options from all replies in this post : x or Not Applicable or N/A ??
Is my that understanding clear?
