Changing name after PPR

I got PPR a few days ago, and now I am thinking about changing my name (making it a little bit more Anglophone). I can change my name and get new passport in my home country relatively quickly (within a month). If I do it, how shall I communicate to CIC about my name change? Through CSE? Are they going to issue a new PPR? Will I have any problems or delays?

At this moment after receiving a PPR I would not recommend changing your name. CIC provides you only 30 days to send passport and if you change your name and send them a new passport then it may create delays or possibly a rejection. I suggest changing your name once you complete your PR process i.e. after you complete your landing.
