A new PR asked whether it was normal to be handed a paper by CBSA at landing for updating your address online to receive your PR card, and how soon after landing this can be done.
What the thread advised:- If you're already in Canada, calling IRCC directly and asking the officer to update your address is a reliable option, rather than relying only on an online link where your details might not show up yet.
- Receiving a physical form from the immigration officer at landing, to update your address online or by fax, is standard practice — one member confirmed getting exactly this form the week they landed.
Takeaway: this form is a normal part of landing — use it (online or fax) to register your address as soon as possible, and call IRCC directly if the online option doesn't show your details yet.
