Hi,

I have moved to a new place recently, but the record on the website: www.cic.gc.ca still shows my old address. I have sent faxes several times to 1-716-855-0512 to request a change of my mailing address. However, two months have passed and the address on that website is still my old address. So, could anyone suggest a good way for address change?

Thank you very much in advance!

first thing - i suggest you to write a letter to them as well. sometimes, fax messages can be lost. buffalo office gets about 250+ faxes everyday, according to them.

second thing - i would not comlpetely believe the online status either. some people in the forum have the status as "in process" and they have got their visas stamped on their passports. so dont sweat.

i wuld also suggest you to write to them and ask for the status of your application by quoting your file no. they normally respond back to you in 3-4 weeks saying that "we are still assessing your case" or whatever is relevant. this response will be sent to the addres on their file. by that way you can check if the new address is in their files or not.

also have the post office forward you mails from your old address to your new address. things normally doesnt get lost in mail. good luck....

Thank you for your kind suggestion!
For the physical letter, do you know to which mailing address should I send the address-change request letter?

the mailing address should be the same as the one you used to send in your application packet for PR. i am not sure where you applied for your PR. so depending upon that, send the physical letter to the same address as you did your application to PR. hope this helps.....
 
Thank you!

Thank you! I have applied for Canadian PR through the Buffalo center and have also gotten my initial assessment -- will be finalized without interview.
