truesmile said:Yes, the PR card is processed immediately upon landing. And yes, you can renew your Pinas passport at a PH consulate in Canada - yes "renew" it to get your married name in it even if it will not expire soon. However, you CANNOT change the name that will be printed on your PR card. It will bear the name that is on your passport, visa, and COPR as it is when you "land". You will have to carry your marriage certificate when you travel for the discrepancy in names that will exist once you renew your passport (with your married name).
thank you so much, but can i not renew my PR after renewing my passport? so i both carry my married name?
