Honestly I don't think Canada cares what name a wife takes. You need other things for proof of your relationship - anybody can change a name.

it's one proof, but of course, that's not enough. you still need all the others that are listed on CIC check list.
It's not compulsory to change names, but it won't hurt your application for sure!

You definitely need to show them enough proof of your relationship - joint account can be a good proof, for example.
