Hi all,
I have a similar problem. My wife is of Indian Origin and has been living as PR for last few years. She still carries her maiden last name [SANYAL].

Initially when we applied for SIN, they refused to include her married last name [MUKHERJEE] in her SIN application as the landed document contains SANYAL.
As a result, all her document SIN, HIN, Drivers License, PR Card contains SANYAL as her last name.

Without going thru a legal name change or get married again in Ontario to get an Ontario Marriage Cert. , is there a way to change her Last Name to MUKHERJEE.

What would be the first place to change her name and in which order ?

I am thinking on these lines... Go to Indian Embassy and get her last name changed in her passport based on our Indian Marriage Cert . Then approach PR Card with the Last name changed and change all others based on PR.

I somehow could not find a single post on the www which could guide me in a proper direction without getting into unnecessary complications.

Thanks for your helps as always....

Take care,
Arnab Mukherjee
