Address to send PR card

[walidmaly]

Hi All

I landed under federal skills program safely and at airport I gave an address in Mississauga for PR card sending, but I found out that my friend at that address can not receive PR
After a day I changed my address online to my cousin in Quebec.

I need to get back to my home town and arrange for PR to be send to me by my cousin

My question is: Is there is a problem entering an address in Quebec to send PR? I read some threads that I should get CSQ to ensure PR processing!

please a

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

According to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) - ENF 27 Permanent Resident Card manual,

Information required of all new permanent residents in order to issue a card:

• address in Canada within 180 days;
• photograph;
• signature of applicant/legal guardian (if applicant under 14 years). Failure to comply requires a new application.

and

Persons who are granted permanent resident status under the Act must provide CIC with a reliable contact address in Canada at the time they are examined for permanent residence. A PR card request is generated from the Case Processing Centre-PR Card (CPC-PRC) when all file information on the permanent resident is complete for the purposes of card production.

If a person does not submit a residential address in Canada within 180 days after becoming a permanent resident, no PR card can be produced. A new application for a PR card must be submitted, in accordance with R58(2).

The manual states “a reliable contact address in Canada.”

We suggest that you contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for to confirm this information and for some information specific to your situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
