An applicant asked whether IRCC requests more documents after PR submission when the name on the WES evaluation doesn't match other documents. The thread produced a clear playbook:
- Best case — handle it before submission. Include a same-name affidavit (a sworn statement that both names refer to the same person) along with the supporting documents where the different name appears.
- Where to put it in the PR application: members debated whether an 'optional documents' slot exists, and the practical consensus was to merge the affidavit and a letter of explanation into the educational-documents placeholder as a single file — the WES report is an education document, so the explanation travels with it.
- Already submitted? Use a webform. If the application went in without the affidavit, several members agreed the remaining option is to send the affidavit/LOE via IRCC webform so it's on file before an officer reviews the discrepancy.
- Expect it to be manageable either way. Nobody reported a refusal over this; the risk is a delay or an additional-document request if the mismatch sits unexplained — which is exactly what proactive filing avoids.
General rule from the thread: any identity-document inconsistency (spelling variants, order of names, maiden names) should be pre-empted with an affidavit plus LOE rather than left for the officer to query.
