Some options if you are outside Canada at the moment:

1.renew your passport in your maiden name in a state that does not require NIN (I think only Lagos, Rivers and Abuja issue the enhanced passport that requires NIN, I may be wrong). This way the names on PR card and passport remain the same.

I have asked at the passport offices and NIN is compulsory in all states now for renewals and new passports.

2. if you prefer to have the new passport in your new name, then apply for a new PR card in your new name (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/how-to-apply.html) and simultaneously apply for a PRTD in your new name with new passport details (in case the card is not produced on time). A PRTD application last month (Feb) took about a week to be approved........even if passport stamping takes 2 months it'll be ready well ahead of August. Apply for PRTD here: https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

Currently checking this out.
3. attempt to travel with PR card, old passport in maiden name, new passport in married name and marriage certificate/change of name affidavit - success may depend on the airline (if they let you fly) and may get complicated if you are transiting through another country before you get to Canada. I may be wrong about this, just an opinion. Hopefully, someone who may have tried it responds.

I've been told that I can by IRCC. They asked that I send a message to CBSA just to affirm, which I have done.

Sure send the US passport if it has more than 6 months to expiry.

I assume IRCC are asking for passport bio data because your old ones have expired or have less than 6 months to expiry. When a dual citizen applies for PR and one passport is a US one, IRCC usually default to the US one so please proceed with that....that's what I would do.

I'm 99.9999% sure it won't be an issue. If you got remed you'll notice they used the US passport details for the child. Also if you ever ordered GCMS notes you'd notice the US one was used even though the child also has Nigerian nationality.

Will you submitting these as an upload on your profile or by email? Do both if possible.

For those asking how to find out their VO......

Allegory gave some expo some time ago:

"saw this on telegram about finding out your vo

singapore-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

spore.immigration@international.gc.ca

Send email to any of the emails above and ask of your status. By tomorrow they will reply you of your current VO"


Even though I know my VO, I tested it and it worked. I'm not sure it's their job but I suspect they are just so efficient that they get a mail and immediately respond, redirecting you. They'll typically say they are not your VO but XXXX office is.

Hello ma'am. Congratulations on your PPR. I was so excited to read about your journey, thank you for always sharing and helping everyone here. I'm also one of the 2019 applicants (AOR September 2019), though I've been a guest on the page till now .
Please do you know the email of the Canadian minister to send a mail to? I'd like to explore all other options before opting for the Mandamus like you did. Thank you.
