Hi. May i know what solution you came up with. I am facing the same issue with the name change. received certificate. how to updated driver licence and healthcare names easily? did you applied for legal name change or just with 2 piece of identity? did you received passport with new name without changing certificate? Please advice. Thank you in advance.
I do not think you can get passport with new name without changing on Certificate, because when you apply for passport they need certificate

You apply for a name change application to IRCC with all supporting documents then you'll receive new certificate with new name

I applied for name change for certificate in October, 2020 and have not received anything not even application number and i know another person who applied for it in May, 2020 and nothing
Cause of Covid it is taking more time usually you get new certificate in 5 months
