Address of other province for mailing PR card

[Aslam717]

But i don't have any relatives or friends i Alberta. All my relatives and friends living in Ontario or BC. What should I do in this situation when i don't have any address to give at landing procedure. i will stay in Airbnb which is temporary residence for one or two weeks. So i can't give Airbnb address at that time.

Hi there,
There is no need for any relative or friend as such. You can give even AirBNB address as far as you are living there and you can foresee that you can get the mail which will be sent to you. Otherwise, you can also talk to the owner of the AirBNB; they can receive your mail incase you move. I did the same thing for my bank account and the bank debit/credit card I received on the address I left after some days. I told the whole scenario to the owner of that place. Later I took my belongings from him, which were mailed to be me. Same thing can be applied to the PR card too. Hope this will help.

Did you apply for PR through a PNP program? If so, you need to give an address in the province that nominated you. Do not give an address outside of that province.

Could we give a friend address as a mailing address to just accelerate the process while looking for a rental in the province we are going to live in.

Hi Aslam,
Did you do the same for your PR?
Is it safe to give a relative or friend address as a mailing address while we look for a rental?

As long as your friend's address is in the same province that nominated you, then yes.

I am an inland applicant not nominated. So, this will not have any issues on my PR? because I have to reply to the 2nd portal in 7 days. Looking for a rent with some constraints related to school of my kids is a bit difficult to solve in 7 days. If that will not raise any issues will be my best choice.

Hi Rahal! Yes, I gave the address of my friend and it was delivered on that address. Because they do not check our rental papers to match with the address we submit for PR card. For bank account I gave AirBNB address and though I left the address after some days. I told the landlord about the situation and came back to pick my bank documents and debt card etc.

Thank you for the reply. Also, congratulations . Never too late to say, though!
