PR card approval notification

[Baahubali]

Hi guys,

I landed recently and applied for PR card at the airport immigration. But I told the officer that I will mention the card delivery address later.

When people say their card application was approved, did you get some notification for that or did you have the PR card application linked to the CIC site and got notification from there like the PR application?

Also will they start processing my PR card application only after I provide them an address because I didn't give them an address during landing?

Thanks.

They will process the application after you landed based on the current address on your file now.
But you need to change the address before the PR approved and mailed out.
The address update process may take 2 - 4 weeks according to CIC call agent .

I suggest you to update the address ASAP.

I used the UCI number and other info from my CoPR. What am I doing wrong?

Use the IRCC webform to rasie a Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) to inform CIC the updated address,and after 3-4 weeks, send another CSE to follow up the update.
Since it ususally take 10 business days for CIC to read the CSE, and another 10 business days to update your address on their system.

We didn't give an address on landing either and still got emails about 6 weeks later saying our photos weren't good enough, so they must have started on them anyway.

I see. So the PR card processing times will still be the same I believe since card delivery part comes later anyways. Hope the PR card processing and address update procedure takes place parallely.

Just to reassure you, you are PR with or without the card. So you don't need to worry too much about the card, unless you are planning to flight out and to Canada in the near future.

That's why the concern is I am flying out in a week and have made paid arrangements for card receival.
