Hi,

I have a difficult case to solve and I will really appreciate any advice.
I got married but I kept my maiden name because I didn't want to delay the application for spousal sponsorship changing all my IDs.
My lawyer advised me to keep it and before I got my citizenship to add my husband name or change it completely as I wanted at first.

But.... I encountered Quebec's law system which says I can't change my maiden name after marriage?
