For those of you guys who changed your address - did you get a confirmation when the address has been changed in their system?

Submitted my request online 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Address also hasn't been changed. Wonder if I should follow up soon.
Did you get automatic reply from them? From old threads, it looks like sometimes you get it (right away) and sometimes you don't, but I wanted to check... (I sent the address change request just this afternoon, and I haven't gotten an automatic reply yet (and nothing in the spam folder either.))

I e-mailed Ottawa for an address change and had a reply back in 3 hours, then it was updated in ECAS a few days later.

I'd perhaps give them a call, but it depends what stage your application is at.

Mine is only a couple of weeks after the SA. When did you request yours?

I e-mailed Ottawa a month after SA, and I wrote "Change of Address for Applicant Being Sponsored - UCI # 924XXXXX - App # F0003XXXXX - My Full Name" in the subject line.

I think it's because I e-mailed them at 3 in the morning, so it was just sitting on top or whatever, would be my best guess. I've noticed that most people note that it takes a couple days at least back to hear from them.

They just sent me an email back in a few hours that said they changed my address.

Did you e-mail Ottawa, or did you accidentally write to Mississauga?

I sent to the Ottawa email address listed in the SA email. I put at the subject line "Address Change Request" and added the other info in the body. I hope I hear back soon but someone said he had been waiting for 2 weeks and another person got it changed in 7 days so maybe it all depends on how busy they are?

Oh you know what? it is Easter weekend and they must have been short of people today?

Good to hear, seems like Ottawa hasn't fallen too far behind, even though there's still a few stray June/July cases.

My understanding is that there are multiple CPP-O subsections so to speak so don't expect timings to cross over between application types or geographies.
