Hi! I got married last May. I applied for PR last July but still under my maiden name. I got my passport amended to my married name last September. I'm just waiting for my Medical request now. Should I just make a letter to the Visa office about the changes? Will it affect the whole application?
Name Change
- Thread starter QWERTY_1234
- Start date
Yes, you have to notify them. It shouldn't be much of a problem as along as you provide a copy of your marriage certificate as proof of the new name.

hi karlshammar!
How long would it take to release the PR after you change your name same with the status "as married"?
Thanks!

Yes, Just like QWERTY_1234, if one got married and want to change its name and status...
After changing/updating the name and status. how long would be the processing time, i mean how many days, weeks or even months before the PR will be released?
Sorry, but I still don't get it. Release the PR? Are you asking me if the name change would make the PR application processing time increase? This I don't know. I can't imagine it would make much of a difference as it is only a formality, but one never knows with the CIC.
I don't think it would have something to do with the processing time. It's just an update of information so definitely it will not speed up your application.
