I have a doubt regarding the first name.

In my passport, given name is formatted as following:

Given Name: First Name + Father's Name

Last Name: has no issue and is as expected

In express entry profile, I have provided only First Name in First Name section and Father's name in middle name section.

The question is should I type my first name in the EE application as my given name only or should I type it as per the passport (First+father's) and leave middle name as blank. My birth certificate does distinguish between given name and father's..

Please advise.

AFAIK, the Passport is the document which is being used for verification. So I believe you need to provide details as per Passport. If your name in Passport is like "Robert (First Name)" "Gracias (Given Name)" then follow the same in the EE profile as well. The seniors can provide more light on this. Good luck.
