Name Change After Obtaining PR Card

[water2wine]

We recently got our PR cards in the mail. However, I applied under my maiden name as that is what is shown on my International Passport when I was applying under express entry.

Nevertheless, the passport recently expired, and I got a new passport under my husband's last name. There is a need to also change the name on my P.R. card. Anyone been in similar situation? Anyone with quality info on how to go about this? Thanks in advance.

I legally changed my name. How do I update my PR card?

You need to apply for a new PR card to change the name on your card. Make sure you include documents that support the change.

Here is how to apply for a new card:
