Shall I tell CIC that I got married after passing the test, or when applying for my first passport?

[MissJustice]

Hi guys,

Immediately after applying for citizenship I moved to the States and got married, and will remain here.
I didnt want to tell CIC immediately in fear that it will delay my application.

Now that I passed my citizenship test I am wondering when is the best time to tell them since I want my Canadian passport to show my new name.

Do I call them and tell them now, or shall I just wait until after my oath ceremony and send my marriage licence along with passport application?

Thanks a lot!

If I were in your shoes, I'd wait till I was getting my passport.
However, if you want your citizenship certificate to show your new name, then you need to inform them immediately.
