Good Day everyone. I am new to this forum. I’m really looking forward for your insight and advise regarding my spousal visa application. I am married to a Canadian Citizen last January 2016. I am ready to submit the application package but I have some questions before sending it. I want to use change my surname with my husband's but I have already undergone medical exam. Here are my questions:

1. Is it okay to submit our application using my maiden name and submit later on during the application my changed surname (my husband’s surname)? I really would want to have my PR with my husband’s name already. Will this cause delay in the processing time?

2. If yes, when should I submit my passport with my husband’s surname? Is it before or after my husband is approved as Sponsor?
