Hello,

I just landed on the 26th of june. I have a question. I landed in Toronto and the officer didnt say if he was going to apply for a PR card for me. So is the application for a PR card automatic or do I have to go and apply for it myself. The officer didnt even ask me where I was staying so that the card gets sent there.

Please help answer my questions. Thank you
The officer should have asked you for an address where the card will be mailed. If they did not, which is abnormal, you can update the address your self on the CIC site and wait. Here's the link: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=coanotify

Guys, I landed 30 April. I have a flight to Egypt August 1st. Do you think I am going to make it with this post strike?
Can you apply to the travel document in Canada or once you are out? and is processing time is shorter than my stay of 1 month?

Hello all..

Is it required to show address proof at the time of landing for inlanders??
No you do not have to. You simply can't. proof of address in Canada is in form of driver license or health card. both of which you probably don't have yet.

Hello,

Is it possible to review the address given to the IO upon entry. I just want to ensure the correct address was entered for PR card but am unable to review it anywhere. ECAS doesn't work for express entry so can't review there. Does the address notification allow to see the current address in the system?

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you go to the CIC site, on the "address change" page, you should be able to see the address on file. However, it takes about 5-15 days (please confirm the days on the CIC site) before you can see the new address, after you (or the officer) make the change/update.

From inside Canada:

1-888-242-2100, then 7 (Express Entry) and 0 (Representative). It usually takes 5-7 min to get in touch with a representative.

The agent said my file was sent to the card production department last Wednesday, but she didn't know how much longer it will be until the print and dispatch. Does anyone know how log this step would normally take? My photos were received on April 25.

No you do not have to. You simply can't. proof of address in Canada is in form of driver license or health card. both of which you probably don't have yet.
We don't really know. Since you landed on April 30th, you should receive your PR card anytime now, and hopefully you will not be affected by a potential strike or lockout. The only issue would be a possible photo request that could delay your PR card for another 2.5 months.
You should definitely give the IRCC a call and enquire about the card's status as the current processing time has passed for you.
A Travel Document for Permanent Residents can only be applied for from outside Canada. However, there might be locations that would process your request from inside Canada as well, especially since you do not need to appear in person for an interview. They do need your original passport, as I understand, so you should check with them before applying. That being said, according to the IRCC website, the applicant must be outside Canada. The processing time varies for different locations. The best way to find out is to contact VFS Global in Egypt.
