Base on Provincial vital stats MB -
based on their Guide for getting married it clearly stated that once you get married or after your marriage ceremony you can choose to:
" assume your spouse's surname and retain your present surname as middle name"
From the CIC PR Card renewal guide in legal change name-
*Legal Change of Name
Consult the information below to determine what supporting document(s) must be submitted with your application.
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 documentation as proof of your name change in addition to supporting identity documents as requested in section 3 of Step 1.
Supporting legal documentation may include:

if you are a permanent resident who changed their name outside of Canada, provide a foreign passport or other national authoritative document that has been amended to reflect the new name, and an official document linking the old and new names.
If the change of name was already approved in a previous permanent resident card application, include a photocopy of your last permanent resident card.
