Name Change / Assuming Last Name After Spousal Sponership

[armoured]

People have done it this way, Easiest method no fee, and Passport/PR (federal documents) stay with the legal full name

And the provincial documents will show the new last name

Since you already know what you want to do and don't care about the federal document, why are you asking?

You might want to think about what are potential implications of her having documents with totally different names. It might cause more hassle and headache than just doing the legal name change. Things can get weird if you have documents that don't match, especially if the last name isn't the same. You do what you want to do, but definitely consider that you could be setting your wife up for a lot of headaches.

I think Legal Name change is the best option. I agree with you

In Legal Name Change can I change the First name to not have her middle name, and have her last name match my last name?

She can do so, yes.
