Hi,

I am a PR and recently got married with my common law partner.  I am applying for citizenship.  Is it advisable to change to my new married name OR do it later after I get my citizenship?

Don't change in your application. I did it, and the application got delayed. You can change your last name when you apply for citizenship with a proof of marriage certificate.

Hi Highpark,

You mean just change my lastname after I get my citizenship?
