Topic: Legal name change question

meliwah10

Hi,

I have 2 passports to show within 5 years. The recent one showed my married name (is required in my country to assume spouse's last name). My government IDs in Canada are with my maiden name and I have no plans of changing them. I was married during my PR application. My question:

1. Would it create a conflict in my application if my surname on the passport is different from my Canadian government IDs?
2. Should I tick YES on the question if I had a legal name change when I just assumed my spouse's last name?

Thanks in advance for your input.
