Name change after marriage

[rahul268]

Hello Members.
I have Express Entry profile in IRCC where my wife is a dependent.
I have received Ontario Nomination as well (not yet accepted).

Now, we want to change her last name in her passport. The new last name would be my family name.
The thing that concerns us is that her IELTS, ECA (by WES) and IRCC details, everything is as per her current Passport only.

So, how do we proceed on this? Kindly help.

She just changes her passport.

Dear Member
Thanks for replying. However, I'd request some clarification.

Yes, she can change her passport. But, our IRCC online profile does not allow to change her last name.
Also, her ECA and degrees, everything has her old name (her family name).

If she now gets a new passport with changed last name (my family name), wouldn't that be a problem?

Why? It's quite common to changes names after marrying.

Yeah I think so...
Just worried that Name change should not cause any issues. Because we created profile after wedding only.
But at that time we didn't think it thru..
