Hey guys,

Here's a pretty random issue. For the purposes of this post, let's say my father's name when was born is: John Doe.

My father, originally from India, when he emigrated to Canada decades ago wrote his name as "Doe John" on immigration forms (since they often write family name first over there).

His new name order stuck and now he is known as Doe John, and everyone calls him by his first name "Doe". His passport and all other IDs have him listed as Doe John.

On form DS-260 I will list him by his legal name: Doe John

But on my birth certificate (I was born in Trinidad, West Indies) the registrar back then listed him as "John Doe"

It seems like its a trivial thing, but just I'm just wondering if anyone thinks it might end up being an issue?

Thanks
