Hi

I would like to have a suggestion on one of my issue. My first name/ Given name on my passport is : Mandeep kaur. There is no surname on my passport.

When I applied for ECA on WES website I put:

Last name - Kaur
First name- Mandeep

My name on my ECA report is mentioned as: KAUR, Mandeep

I want to clarify whether I have to to get it changed or its ok to proceed.

Thanks.

Query regarding first name/last name in WES ECS report

Hi Guys,

Can Anyone please help me out in this query.

I have already received an ITA on 22 Feb and I am looking forward to continue my eAPR.

Is it ok to proceed with below name details:

Express Entry:
Given Name - Blank
SurName - Mandeep Kaur

WES:
Given Name - Mandeep
Last Name - KAUR

And attach a Letter of Explanation while uploading documents.

OR shall I contact WES for re-issuing WES report as per name details on Express Entry Profile

I would not be worried since both the names are same. I would be worried if were something like below:

APR:
Given Name: Mandeep Singh
Last Name : Kaur

WES
Given Name: Mandeep Kaur
Last Name : BLANK

To be safe get a One & same person affidavit ( search for a format in this forum) and get it notarised. Its easy & not very expensive.
Attach this affidavit in the LOE section.

OR

Shall I get my name changed in the passport as per WES ECA report.

Actually, I am already applying for the passport re-issue in order to add spouse name and change address.

So, which option would be safer considering I have already received an ITA.

You use your passport for everything. WES report is only used for CIC purposes. Ask WES to change the name to match the passport. WES will take a long time for that as you would need to resubmit all your documents and start the process all over.

Hello Gyz
Thanks for reading my post
I am stuck with WES application process , coz I don't have a surname (last name) in passport all my name(ABC) is in given name section of passport.
Now WES is asking me last name and first name
What should I fill in that last name and first name columns?
It would be a great help if someone could sort this out.
