Your family name is the one you were born with
unless you legally applied to the Courts to have
your name changed -- getting married is not a
legal application.
Your family name can also be your husband's
name if you so choose... or you could list it as
a hyphenated name (YourName-HisName).

And no... The long form doesn't ask for a
maiden name... It simply asks you to list your
name --- it doesn't say for you to use HIS name
either.

I have the long form.

Remember... The census form is supposed to be
filled our and mailed by the 16th of May this year.
Or you can do it on line at
www.census2006.ca
