Hello everyone,
I would really appreciate your advice into this situation. I recently got nominated under the OINP non express entry stream and I intend to marry my partner soon and sponsor him along with myself. Do i need to change my surname to sponsor or I can sponsor with my same surname for now and do a name change after PR?

They don't care about the surname.

note though if you get married before you become a PR, you MUST add your spouse to your existing app. You must do this before you 'land.'

Yes, this will delay the process some.

1. No, you don't have to change your surname.
