Getting married in September - how do I change my name?
Hey
I'm getting married in 4 weeks time
My partner and I both have PR cards but I'm changing my surname, I have a new passport in my married name already but I don't know how to change my PR card or if I need to change it? We don't live in Canada at the moment but I don't want to leave it unchanged and then not be able to enter the country. Help!

If you are going to be married and want to go abroad immediately after the wedding, you can get a passport post-dated in your married name up to 3 months in advance. This is what I have already. I just want to know how to change my PR from my maiden name to my married one.
