An Express Entry applicant planning a soft landing in Montreal worried they had no contact in Toronto (their declared destination) to receive their PR card. The thread resolved it:
- You do need to give an address. A member confirmed there's no way around providing a Canadian address — PR card processing and delivery require one.
- But it can be any Canadian address, not necessarily in your destination city or province. A fellow Express Entry landee shared first-hand experience: despite being an EE (federal) applicant, their PR card was delivered to a Montreal address without issue.
- Practical approach for soft landings: give the border officer (or update via the IRCC portal) whatever Canadian address you can reliably receive mail at — a friend, relative, or your temporary accommodation — even if it's in the city where you're landing rather than where you told IRCC you'd settle.
This removed the poster's assumption that the PR card address had to match the destination city on their application.
