My passport Name includes my surname whereas my educational certificate are without surname.
I have contacted WES via mail but haven't received any reply from them.
Just wondering if this poses any issue in validating my certificates.
Can anyone pls illuminate?
Thank you.

Do both your passport and edu. certificate include your first and last name ? If so, no worries.

No. My passport has my F M L name.
My certificates have my F and M name. No L name.

Pls suggest what is the solution for this.

You'll have to write a letter to explain this case.

You need to get a One in the Same Person affidavit, stating that all possible variations of your name belong to the same person.
You can google formats.

Thank you for this kind help and guidance.

So basically if I get my ECA done with certificates having Fname and Mname.
If I have a notarised affidavit stating that both FML and FM name belongs to same person, there won't be any problem in proceeding with the Express Entry application even if my name on the passport is Fname Mname and Lname? (Whereas ECA done with Fname and Mname only)
