Janet,

OR in some countries, the passport office will amend married name into the passport.

In Canada a passport cannot be amended, you have to get a new one.

Are we sure that the Montreal embassy requires that the passport be in the persons married name waithatter?

What name are you using for everything else Carslo? I can't see that they would have an issue with using the passport in your maiden name - it is still your name, but it would be nice to hear from someone in Canada who has actual facts about this. Barring that - you should email the Montreal embassy and ask them directly.

The name on your passport will be the name on your SSN card and your Green card btw - if this is an issue for you, by all means, get a new passport.

Not necessarily. My passport is still in my maiden name (have difficulties with changing it and I explained it to them) but the US Consulate was able to issue my visa in my married name, with an annotation to my maiden name.

I had no problems at POE and now my green card, SSN, bank accounts, drivers license are all in my married name (based off my visa)
