You are not alone with such name problem for Canada Immigration. :D
In the Form IMM0008 there are column to show your full name, Maiden name and any other names if any.
As your name was changed in 2010 and any job related documents are of year 2000, there is no sense in trying to get them re-issued to reflect your current name.

A solemn affidavit for your name change with supporting proof will do the job. Also explain it in your covering letter.

You are welcome deepblues.
Of course any new or recent documents can be with your current name.
I was mentioning that no need for replacing old certifications or reference letters.
