New local passport with married name & PR (maiden)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi!

So I'm traveling to my country and I have to get a new
passport. In the new passport my last name will be changed to my married
name. The PR card holds my maiden name.
So my question is: Can I
return to Canada with the new passport (married name) and the old PR
card (maiden name)? I can still show the old passport (which wouldn't be
valid for traveling, but would match the name on the PR card).

Do they make a lot of problems?

	Apply for a new PR Card showing the new name. Or keep same name in new passport like the PR Card. If I were you, I'd make sure names on both documents match. Call CIC 1-888-242-2100 and speak to an agent if you need further clarification
