Hello house,
Please I need some clarifications and advice on the foregoing.

My husband is the main Applicant in the EE Application. He got his ITA sometime in August and we did our Court wedding about two weeks ago so I can be added as a spouse to the Application. We sent a notification to IRCC informing them of his new maritial status and attached our marriage certificate. We thought we woud get a swift response from IRCC so I proceeding to process my passport using my Madien name as opposed to my husband's surname as that would be faster than the change of name process.

My concerns are that;
Firstly, we are yet to get a response form IRCC till date. Is it necessary to call an agent or send a follow up mail, if yes? How do we go about that?
Secondly, will my maiden name on my new passport be detrimental to our Application?

Thank you for your time, God bless you.
