changing address online

[form_filler]

Hello
I am trying to update my address online. At the bottom of the form is a check box next to the phrase "Please remove the ability for me or anyone else to view the status of my application and address information on this Web site." If I try and submit the form without checking this box I get an error. Is this correct? if I change my address I can't view my status online anymore? I'm confused

Better send an email to CIC about address change

It says to change your address through the online form unless you are not eligible to do so

I remember I had an issue with that too, actually very similar confusion but unfortunately don't remember how I got around it.

Apart from the technical issue though, if you update your address online it doesn't always mean your address gets updated in your file. In my case, I had updated my address for about 3 months before MR but still MR had the wrong address. Once I replied to MR email with the correct address I got notification that my address is now updated with what I stated in the email.

I suggest you send an email to update address too (or just call).
