I landed yesterday and came back to USA on the same day. During landing procedure the IO officer did not accept my friends address for the processing of our (me and my family) PR cards. I have read somewhere that I provide my address to CIC online. But I am not sure that by providing my address online will the start the production of our PR cards.

The officer gave me a form with with I can inform them about my new address. While I am outside of Canada, can my friend fax them the form. Could it cause any problem?

What was the reason given by IO for not accepting your friends address
 
He asked me: For how long I would stay in Canada? I said a day. Then asked me when will I move in Canada. I said after three months. Just after this little conversion he said he would not process our pr card as we were just coming to Canada for a day. He was little rude. I think he did not like the idea of coming in Canada for a day.

I think the same. 1 day made him rude
 
I think it's just that they are not supposed to send your PR card to an address they know you will not be staying at when it arrives.
 
I think you became uuubbbeer honest. :) Should have just said you are there to stay for good and not gonna be there just for 1 day. ..then I think the IO would have processed your PR without any hesitations.
 
Do you need any process when you are leaving for Canada?

I mean if you mentioned to stay for 1 month but actually you only stay for 1 day, will it be a problem?

I guess you have US visa, which allow one stays in Canda for less than a month and you can then return to US without having to apply US visa again. Is it also true if you are landing to Canada as immigrant?

Thanks
