mailing address for PR cards

[Ales]

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask a quick question, please. We landed in November, stayed a couple of weeks and flew back to Europe before we return to Canada permanently. At landing, we provided the immigration officer with an address (of our friend) where the cards should be mailed out to. However, I don't remember filling out an application for a PR card.
We still haven't received them and I started to wonder why. I know there were some delays for the government to issue the cards recently but it seems to be quite some time already.
Thus, I wanted to ask if newly landed immigrants receive the cards as a part of the immigration process (I found this info on their web pages) and if so could the problem be that when checking my application on line I found out that my attorney's address is still on file and that's why it was not yet mailed out to the address mentioned at landing (I also read this opinion somewhere on this forum)?
If I have to I can call the government but wold like to have some general understanding prior to that.
I really appreciate any help.
With regards,
Ales

I am also in the same boat as far as updating the mailing address is concerned. When I completed my Landing I gave my friends address for PR Card mailing and the IO mentioned that my friends address has been updated. I also did go to change mailing address in the web and changed on 1st April. But till now the mailing address has not changed, I had read on the CIC website that it takes 15 days for the change to take effect, but its been 18 days till today and there is no change in the mailing address, would like to know if there is anyother way to do this.

Thanks

Max

Yes, same case with me... I updated the address online but it never showed up. So I called CIC and found out that in their records the address was updated!

Any senior, could you please advise us? I really don't know what needs to be done to receive the card...
Thanks a lot in advance.
With regards,

hi can anyone advise if it is possible for the address on the PR card and SIN card to be different?

Reason is, I am forced by circumtances to do my landing imn Vancouver and I will be using a relative's address as the mailing address. But, my plan is to stay in Toronto due to better job opportunities. As such, I will spend most of my time there researching and visiting Service Canada. Is it possible for me to have 2 different addresses on the cards? Or, must the address be identical?

You can have different addresses for the cards.
