I am applying with my wife and is at 467 CRS, expecting ITA in the next draw.
I have a couple of concerns (actually a lot :'( ) that needs to be dealt with, request the fellow members to kindly advice ... (names mentioned below are indicative !!)

a.) My birth certificate issued in India contains only my first name xxxxx, but my passport has my initials as well and looks like xxxxx yyyy zzzzzz.

b.) Father's name mentioned in my birth certificate is wwww e hhhhh but in my passport it is wwww eeeee hhhhh (The name is correct but in passport the middle name 'e' is expanded).

c.) In my marriage certificate, My wife's Mother's name is mentioned ' Lissa' .. when her legal name is 'Lisa' ( actual name ).

d.) In my wife's birth certificate her Mother's name is ' Liza ' .. when her legal name is 'Lisa '...

Note for c & d - Mothers name on the passport of my wife is ' Lisa' .

I wanted to know if at some point (read from ITA till I receive my PR card) any of these discrepancies would trouble us

I know the post might sound funny for some members, but admin this is not a troll post. Please do not delete :( !!! any help is much appreciated ....

In my opinion, it should not be a problem. You can mention these in a Letter of Explanation or you can prepare an Affidavit and get it notarized.

So an LOE containing all the above discrepancies or one for each?
And regarding Affidavit , Yes this can be done attested by a notary or an advocate. Thanks really appreciate the suggestion .

Fellow members, any other opinions/suggestions
