I'd like to move my last name to my middle name, and add a new last name. Example: if my name is Tim Smith now, I'd like my future name to be Tim Smith Johnson.
I plan on applying for citizenship within the next few months (assuming the 3/5 law comes into effect soon). Should I do the name change before or after the citizenship application? If I do it before, I have to get a new PR card etc...which I think will be a hassle, and I'd rather not go through that again. If I do it after the citizenship oath, I'm guessing I have to apply for a new Canadian passport with the updated name? I'm wondering if anyone here has gone through this before...any help will be appreciated.
