PR Card Mailing Address

[texpert12]

Hi,

When i landed, immigration officer asked me to write address where u stay in Canada.
I want to know that on this mailing address i will get my PR cards that i gave to immigration officer?
Or
I will receive my PR cards on the address showing on CIC website because i didn’t updated my Canada address on CIC website. Its still showing my home country mailing address.

Regards,

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this.

You can find some detailed information in our Do I need to apply for my Permanent Resident Card? article.

Here is an excerpt,

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will mail your PR Card to you, after the information and photograph on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence document is confirmed by a CIC official when you arrive in Canada.

If you did not provide your mailing address to CIC at the point of entry, do so as soon as possible. You can update your address online or you can contact the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100.

If you do not provide Citizenship and Immigration Canada your address within 180 days of the date of your admission, you will need to reapply for your PR Card and pay the applicable fee.

As you can see, it recommends that if you did not provide your mailing address to CIC at the point of entry, do so as soon as possible.

If you have concerns, contact the Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100.

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
