Hello all,

I am in the process of filling out my citizenship application, and I am unsure about how to fill out Question #4.

Question is: Your full name shown on your Record of Landing (IMM 1000), Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM 5688) or last Permanent Residence Card (PR Card).

My last name is different on my PR card and my COPR, as I got married after receiving my COPR but before landing. After receiving my first PR card I applied for a renewal and got a new one with my married name, and my COPR is in my maiden name. Should I go ahead and use the name on my last PR card for this question?

Also the second question is: Have you changed your name since becoming a Permanent Resident? Not sure how to answer that. Technically I was married and thus my name was changed before I landed, but I landed with a passport and a COPR under my maiden name and got my first PR Card under my maiden name.

Thanks in advance for the help!
