Taking assumed name after marriage

[TLeong]

Hi. I'm a PR and is getting married soon. I'm Malaysian and my husband-to-be is Canadian.

Once married, Ontario provided the option of either
1, no name change
2, assumed name
3, legal name change

From what I understand, I can change my name legally only in Malaysia. So 3rd option is not an option at this point.

Can anyone elaborate more about assumed name? What Canadian documents do I need to change?

Thanks

You can legally change your name in Ontario if/whenyou have lived there 12 months:
