Passport in Maiden name

[sjp52]

My Filipina wife is applying for a visa to come to Canada. Can she apply with all documents in her maiden name or does she have to convert everything over to her married name such as passport and relevant documents.

I applied with all my docs in my maiden name. I will change my passport etc later.
But its up to you. I chose to use maiden name because didnt want any further delays by having to apply for new passport first. I even called immigration to ask their advice. It doesnt matter basically as long as name on application and name in all the docs match.
Good luck!

I applied under my maiden name as well. After I (hopefully) receive my permanent residency I'll work on changing everything over to my married name. It just seemed like too much to deal with in the middle of getting our application together! The biggest concern for me was having to send my passport in to get a new one under my married name.
