Sailing in the same boat, I don't have a surname but specified it while filling out the form on WES. Should I contact them to correct this?
Senior members, please advise.

Thanks

Hi All,

I am planning to get WES evaluation.

My first name in Education evaluation report is Ankit. Also I have my fathers name mothers name and surname in marksheets.
Few marksheets have my name as Ankit followed by Father name and surname (No mother name)
In my diploma marksheet my name is Ankitkumar
My passport my given name is ANKITKUMAR

Will this cause any issue during WES and after ITA and what are the recommendations ?

Regards
Ankit

I have the same issue. My first name/ Given name on my passport is : Prabhdeep Singh. There is no surname on my passport.

When I applied for ECA on WES website I put:

Last name - Singh
First name- Prabhdeep

My name on my ECA report is mentioned as: SINGH, Prabhdeep

may I know whether you managed to get it changed or its ok to proceed.

would like to get the viewpoint of other experts also.

Hi All,

I am holding an Indian passport and I'm not having any Surname on my passport. So, while creating an Express Entry profile, I have entered all of my name in the surname field and mentioned "Not Applicable" in the given name field. (This has been done based on the CIC website link).

E.g. If the name is "Rajbir Singh", surname in the express entry profile is "Rajbir Singh" and the given name is "Not Applicable"

However, while filing for ECS report, I was not aware of this naming convention, so my report has the following names

Surname/Last Name : Singh
First Name : Rajbir

Will it create any problem in the process? How can I get my ECS report corrected with the changes in the name.

Thanks in advance

My surname was written as my first name in WES. When I communicate with WES customer service, they can't update the name after evaluation. Is there any way to correct name ECA or Can I use this report for PR processing.

the same name as on the educational credentials. If they differ from your passport (surprisingly more common than you would imagine) use an LOE (Letter of Explanation) post ITA to clarify the discrepancy to the officer. If you're very worried, you can also upload an affidavit which mentions all variants of your names across multiple documents and asserts that all those are variants of the name of the same individual.
