Hello dear All
I hope I have chosen the right place to post my question ...

We are preparing to our landing process and I would like to know if it is possible to change my wife's last name.

During landing? During getting a SIN?
Or we have to wait get Canadian citizenship to be able to change name/surname?

Thanks

You can do that before or after landing and before becoming Canadian citizen.

I cannot do this before because I already have CoPR visas, issued according my passports.

After - yes, I can, but this costs some (120$+) money.

I wanted to do this for free ;)

Hi..please allow my silly question. May i understand why so many people need to change their last name before come into Canada ? Is it really important to do this ?
