Hello all!

I am an American married to a Canadian. We got married in 2016 and applied for outland sponsorship in early 2017. Just received my CoPR (YAY) end of last month. I am need of a full name change though, first, middle, and last name. I applied for sponsorship under my birth name. Can I do this now or should I wait till I land or after I've gotten my PR card? I need to do this ASAP though. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think they can fix/update this at the border when you land but I'm not 100% sure. I'll let those who know, provide their input.
