You can explain in the letter of explanation and provide your marriage certificate which will mention your maiden name and your spouse's name. To be on the safer side you can also provide a name change notarised affidavit which mentions your maiden name was... and after marriage to ... you current name is.... And attach the marriage certificate as an exhibit to it. The lawyer/notary will have a format, very straight forward and will not cost much.

It will be an issue with WES. So, file affidavit notarized and submit to WES and after that submit same to CIC

Thank you for highlighting.

In my case, my spouse only had to submit our marriage certificate and we received our ECAs without her having to submit any notarised affidavit. However, this was a year ago, and am not sure if there has been any subsequent change to this.

Everybody is not that lucky.
