My wife got Canadian TRV approved (multiple-entry, 10 years) few months back.

She applied for the TRV soon after our marriage, so she applied it using her maiden name. Now, she would be changing her surname (from maiden name to my surname) and updating her passport (and other documents).

Would she need to apply for a new TRV (because of surname change)?
or
Can she travel to Canada with her new passport, old passport having TRV and marriage certificate?

If so, would she need to carry any other document like name change affidavit?

Hi,

She must travel with both passports + the marriage certificate
