Hi, I hope somebody here can help. I became a Canadian permanent resident in 2019 and did a soft landing to get the process started. I currently live in Australia and I'm planning the big move for early 2021.

Since activating my PR, I have had to renew my passport so my understanding is that, now, my Canada PR is attached to my old passport details.

Does anyone know if I have to update my PR record with my new passport details? Does it matter? If I do, how do I do it? I can't find a form anywhere which instructs me to.

I really don't want to land in Canada and have problems getting through customs because my passport doesn't match my PR record. I've contacted CIC and my local VAC and haven't got a clear answer from either. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
