If IRCC issues a request for your passport (BVL) with a spelling mistake in your name, you don't need to start over — you can request a correction alongside submission.
What group members advised:- Submit your passport along with a letter of explanation describing the spelling mistake and requesting the correction.
- Include additional proof of your correct name to back up the request — group members suggested using government-issued ID such as an Aadhar card or driving license.
- A DLI offer letter can supplement (not replace) the identity documents, since it shows your name as used for your study application.
- Act quickly and also raise it through the immigration office/webform, since this kind of correction has a time-sensitive impact on your ability to get the visa stamped.
Takeaway: a name-spelling error on the passport request doesn't need to derail your timeline — pair the passport submission with a clear letter of explanation and solid ID-based proof of the correct spelling.
