Dear <Wife old name as per PR card name change application>:
We have received your application for a Permanent Resident Card and note that the name on your application differs from that on your Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence document.
We are unable to process your application without proof of a legal change of name linking your name at landing and the new name you are requesting. Please submit a copy of all the applicable linking documents from the list below which link the name on your Record of Landing and your new name:
• Legal Change of Name Document
• Court Order, divorce decree, revocation of declaration or annulment of union
• Adoption Order
• Marriage Certificate, registration, declaration of union (PROVIDED – NO NEED TO RESUBMIT)
In addition to the application linking documents requested and submitted from the above list, you MUST also submit a copy of the following:
• Provincial ID (from the province in which you reside) in the name you are requesting on your Permanent Resident Card. Identification should include the name, date of birth, photo and signature of the applicant (i.e. Driver’s license, Photo ID Card, Health Card, etc.)
Note: Provincial ID is not required if you have provided a legal name change document issued by a province within Canada.
If we do not receive the requested information within 30 days of the date above and your card will remain valid for more than one year, we will consider your application for a permanent resident card cancelled. Any new information submitted after the 30 days will require a new application, fee, photos and relevant documents.

In this case which additional document I can submit? I have only new passport copy and Indian state govt. gazette.
Service Ontario confirmed that, they can change the name on DL and Health card once it get changed to PR card so I don't left option to submit Provincial ID.
Do I need to change the name of CoPR document by raising web form?
Can someone please help with this one and let us know how to proceed further?
