NEW PASSPORT WITH NEW LAST NAME (MARRITAL NAME) AFTER PASSPORT REQUEST EMAIL

Good day everyone,

I received an email from IRCC for me to submit my passport and other documents for stamping with PR visa (FSWP application).

However, I now have a new passport (with a new last name- my husband's last name).

All my documentations with IRCC, including biometrics, and the passport request letter carry the old passport details (with my maiden name).

I have submitted a case specific enquiry on IRCC webform (with a letter of explanation, the two passports, my marriage certificate, and court affidavit) to notify them of the change in my passport details, but I am yet to get a reply from them.

The 30 days window period for passport submission is already far spent.

Should I go ahead and submit the new passport, letter of explanation, marriage certificate, and court affidavit, and the other requested documents in one package to the VAC office?

I'll really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
