I’ve had my PR status for 3 years. I’m about to move in 3 weeks and I went to the IRCC website to see how I can update my address, but there is only information about how to change your address if you’re submitted an application. Are permanent residents required to notify IRCC when they move? If so, how can I do so?

Thank you

1. No, you only need to inform IRCC of an address change if you have an application in progress.
