Notifying change of address after visa stamping

[lucky_CA]

I have received my passport with visa stamped and COPR this week. I will be moving to a new address next week.

Just wondering, do we need to keep informing CIC about our address changes until we land in Canada?

Yes - the pr card cannot be forwarded so you should just update via ecas otherwise you will experience delays with your card

Second that.

Note, the OP hasn't "landed" yet. S/he is still overseas, so no need to inform the visa office of an address change as s/he already has the COPR and the Visa.

You don't need to update your address on ECAS anymore. When you land as a PR, the CBSA officer will ask you what address you want your PR card to be sent to.
