Hello,
I have legally changed my name after becoming PR in Canada.
Do I only need to submit
copy of legal change document or else I need the
copy of COPR also. If I should submit COPR too, then its
on legal size , should I adjust it to
A4 size (as all other documents are in A4 size). If the visa officer scans the documents, then he/she may have issues.
Or should I print the COPR copy in legal size.
Please reply, Thank you

Legal Change of Name
Read the information below to see which supporting documents you need:
If your present name is different from the name printed on your
Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688), you must submit:
- supporting legal documents as proof of your name change, and
- supporting identity documents as requested in section 2 of Step 1.
Submit any of these documents
issued by a civil authority in a province or territory of Canada:
- a copy of a legal change of name document, court order, adoption order, or
- one of the following documents (unless you were married in Quebec on or after April 2, 1981 and are now a resident of this province). The document must show your new name:
- a marriage certificate;
- divorce decree;
- registration;
- declaration of union;
- revocation of declaration or annulment of union.
If you are a permanent resident and changed your name
outside of Canada, submit:
- a foreign passport or other national authoritative document that shows your new name; and
- an official document linking the old and new names.
If your name change was already approved in a past PR Card application, include a photocopy of your last PR Card.
Important information: If you have had a legal name change, you must include a copy of your Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688) with this application.
