Only given name in passport.. Where to fill while creating EE profile ??

[Shubhdeep1994]

Hello guys..
I'm facing a problem while creating express entry profile...
I have only one name on passport in Given name(s) column. While creating EE profile where should I fill my name i.e in First Name column or Last Name column?
Please advise. Thanks.

What do you usually type in other official documents that ask for a First & Last name? Like your ECA & IELTS for example?
I suggest you keep it consistent with the other documents you will be submitting. In my case, I take the first part of my name as First Name and put the rest in Last Name, and it's the same in most of my documents.

I have used first name in ECA and IELTS, but CIC site states as follows :-
"
What do you mean by surname?
Your surname is your family name. It is also called your “last name.” When filling out applications, type your surname as it appears on your passport, travel or identity document.

Do not use initials.

If you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank. Do not enter “Not applicable,” “*” or “NA.”
Now should I fill name in last name/surname field?
Please advise. Thanks.

That's from this link right?

Seems like a straightforward answer from the given information, although I have not come across this info while I was applying and it did not adversely affect my application. It's always better to follow IRCC's guidelines when available.
