Hello!
I am a permanent resident who just got married. I've applied for my marriage license but know that that can take the better part of 12 weeks. In the meantime, I am trying to gather all the forms I need to make my name changes to the various government agencies that need it.
I've been trying to find what I need to file for name change on my Permanent Resident Card with the CIC but the information I have found is very confusing. It seemed like it said that the name would NOT be changed for any reason other than CIC error. But I need to make sure that this card matches my health card, Driver's license and US passport. I can't imagine the hassle I would receive at the border if my passport had my married name and my PR card had my maiden name.
HELP!
Thank you!
