Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding my multiple entry visitor visa for Canada. I was granted a 10-year multiple entry visitor visa 4 years ago. My visa is still valid, however, my last name changed since I obtained the visa due to marriage. Do I need to apply for a new visa with my new name or can I travel to Canada with this visa and show my marriage certificate as a proof of the last name change?

Thank you!

You just have to show your marriage certificate for proof that you are you... :)

Hello can_tur,
have you traveled to Canada yet? I have the same situation. So I'm wondering if you could enter?
