At the time of entry into Canada I was not having a Canadian address and hence, address for PR card delivery was not updated. Immigration officer provided me with a form which I had to fax when I would have an address. The address could also be updated online by updating information in Address notification tool.(this information was also in the form provided by the immigration officer)
Now, when I am trying to update the address, my information (UCI, Application number, COPR number) is not found in the Address notification site. As a result I am not able to update my address.(Link: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=coanotify)
It is more than a month since I first entered Canada. Is any one else facing the same problem wherein the information pertaining to self is not found on the Address Notification site.
As of now I have raised a CSE. Would that be sufficient or I need to fax the address update form.
Or is it that I am doing something wrong?

I was not able to update it either through the online form.

Fax is the only way I suppose.

Hi rockytg,

Was your address successfully updated through webform? Did you receive your PR card in your new address? I also sent a webform updating my address, but they never replied. I'm a bit concerned whether my address has been updated. Thank you.

My address was never updated. PR card was sent to the hotel address where I stayed initially ( This address they had taken from the PR travel document application. I applied for it when I returned to my home country) and to date I have not received it. So do not rely solely on webform for updating of address, best is to give a call to CIC without any further delay. They would confirm the address they have in thier records and if the address is different from what you want, get it updated in call itself. Also, tell them you went through the process of updating of address via webform.
Telephone numbers:
Canada: 18882422100
USA: 16139444000

BTW the US number does not work anymore. They do attempt to transfer to IRCC but the IRCC system dumps you out because of the US number.

The last time I called was on 14th of this month and was working. Since you are saying it is not working anymore then might be a recent development.

Yeah too bad for me. Or maybe some US numbers work and some do not. Since I am in Canada, I ended up purchasing a prepaid SIM and called in and updated my address.

PR cards process kicks off only after landing.

You can do all the updates you want on CIC website. PR cards process only start after landing. CBSA agent will send your landing information to CIC and only then CIC will start processing PR cards.
