Dear Anna,

Thanks for above reply. However, I am here already PR but i am expecting my card to arrive.

Here in Pearson Airport, I have given my home address here in Canda while I landed. Today, once I see the address change section in CIC website, I found that MY home address has been changed as per I have given my Canada Address, however my mailing address still showing my earlier home country address which i have given during PR application.

Now i am worried, as where CIC will send my PR card? will they send in my current home address or in the mailing Address?
Do I need to change? Please reply me ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

Thank you for sharing your question with us.

To avoid confusion, I recommend that you contact IRCC directly to inform them of the change of address in case your PR card has already been sent to the older address. 1-888-242-2100 IRCC Call Centre line.

Also, depending on what your former address is, you may want to contact the person who now lives at your former address and ask them if your card has arrived.

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.

Hi Anna,

This question was closely related to my query so continuing the same thread.

I have been trying to contact CIC customer service on the given number during business hours but I have been kept on hold for 45 mins and long without been answered by the customer service agent on call.

Since I was unable to contact the customer service I have submitted the webforms stating the change of my address.

My question is, How can i track the status of my PR, since I am new in Canada and will be receiving my first card at my home address.

Appreciate your early response.

Thanks
Abhishek

Dear Anna
I am awaiting my PR card. I landed on 23.1.2018 and submitted my photos again on 15.03.2018 as required by CIC. I am in India currently and have provided my friend’s address in Canada for PR card delivery. However now there is a change in address of my friends residence and I need to inform this to CIC but unfortunately I am not able to do this online. Hence I have submitted a web form today to request the change. I also tried calling on the customer care line +1 888-242-2100 but it says ‘call cannot be completed as dialed , please check the number and dial again’. Please advice.

Thank you
Ritika

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We have had some of our users previously state that they have been able to contact IRCC from abroad by dialing 1 613 944 4000. Listen to the options to get to IRCC. Then you should be transferred to the IRCC Call Centre.

Please note though we are not sure if this number continues to work this way.

You may want to give it a try.

Please be aware that long distance charges will apply.
