Why don't you just get a new passport instead?

A passport isn't included as one of the items acceptable as proof of Canadian citizenship. It's generally good enough in most circumstances, but it's not official proof. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/proof-citizenship/documents.html

My point was that you can still use the original certificate with the name change certificate.. I am not sure of you need to get a new one . My understanding is that you don't need it unless you want the first passport .for renewal you can still use the one with the previous name and the name change documents .

Ah right I see where you were going with that now.

Were you able to get a new passport without getting a new citizenship certificate?
