You are right! Like me, I did not change my passport to my married name so my PR card is still on my maiden name.

To avoid hassle and another paper work... might as well change your passport now to your married name then send a letter to CIC explaining this and send a copy of your new passport.

But, I would recommend this route if your application just started and not close to PPR.
thats a great info. thanks.

my husband just submitted our papers to CIC last month, July 15, we are still waiting for Receipt of acknowledgement.
My question is once i renewed my passport. How will I send my passport boi page to CIC?
Can you please give suggestion what I should do to start the process please...

I assume you applied outland. Once your hubby received the SA and your papers are transferred to CEM that is the time you have to send the passport bio to CEM. You can send it through email together with your/or husband's UCI number so that they can attach it to your file.

I called CIC about this. And the agent said that there is no need to change name cause here in canada it is your choice if u want to keep on using your maiden name or your married name. It wont affect your application as long dun sa marriage cert daw e naka indicate un name na ginamit mo sa application.

Yes it won't really affect the application but of course you want your identification cards all the same right?
Passport, driver's license, bank cards, health card, PR card etc.

So if you're planning to change your name on your passport, change it now! :)

This is just a suggestion :)

We applied with my maiden name in 2010 and did not change my passport so my PR card was issued with my maiden name. Now if I want to change my name to my Married name I have to apply for a new card and it will take 152 calendar days before I receive it.

Im wondering if I already changed my maiden name to married name, how will I update CIC about the changes of my passport? To what email address will I send my new bio page of passport?

any ideas please..

Yes, my hubby is a Canadian. Ano yung GCP? wala aku alam sa GCP.


What I know is that DFA is requiring a Marriage certificate and CFO counseling certificate to renew and use husbands family name.
GCP is guidance counseling program at CFO. :D yes yan ung kelangan mo, original NSO MC & GCP certificate.
