My wife just received her work permit and advanced parole document this week. Both have her new last name on them. Her Canadian passport, visa, and I-94 all have her maiden name on it. Will this name mismatch on her documents create trouble for us at the border when we try to re-enter the U.S.? I ask because we plan to visit her family for the holidays, and don't want any surprises, come January. Thank you for all your input. I love this forum.

I went to canada for a vacation last july ,my GC has my married name and my passport has my maiden name. I don't have any problems at all at the canadian border when I presented my passport ( I am not a citizen of canada) and GC. Same thing when I entered the US they did not even bother to look at my passport, but only the GC, they swipe it in the computer and that was it. I brought a copy of marriage license too just to be safe.

Just take along a copy of your marriage certificate (or License) that shows her maiden name and her married name. My county in Arkansas provides a pocket version of the Marriage License which is convenient to carry along with a passport.
