Last Name Change

[PW79]

Hii, can anyone help..

I'm a resident of India and soon will be shifting to Canada on a sponsorship PR.
So is it necessary to change the last name in Indian passport and elsewhere as a proof? Because I'm keen on keeping my maiden name.
I'm not yet married will be getting married soon and thus will the procedure start.

No, you can keep your maiden name (even married).

Name changes are optional.
