How to fill in First Name and Last Name fields when your passport has no separate surname

I had a similar situatio, as per IRCC instruction you can write the complete name in the surname/last name section and leave the first name section blank. For Celpip, I just entered a period in the last name section as both are mandatory fields

Write the given name and family name as per you want them to be. As long as when combined, they become the name in your passport. My passport does not separate the given name and family name. I simply write in the form as per I want it to be.

I had a similar situation and I created a new passport.. applied for name bifurcation.. it's best to do so as this could cause problems later.
