How to Change My Address as a Sponsor on IRCC for Outland Sponsorship?

[amir1993]

Hello everyone,

I’m sponsoring my wife, who is currently outside of Canada, and I recently changed my own address. I’ve been trying to update my address with IRCC but haven’t had any luck. I used the IRCC webform, but I received the following message:

"

• Invalid method chosen

Your request had include a change of contact information and a second question. Please send your second question separately by filling out another webform.

How to change your contact information

The message also mentioned that:

• If my application is being processed outside of Canada, I may need to contact the visa office serving the region directly. But my application is processing in Sydney
• When I try to use the links provided, I can only find options to change the PA's (Principal Applicant's) address, but not mine as the sponsor.

Does anyone know how I can change my address as the sponsor in an outland sponsorship application? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello my friend.
NO... is it possible to change it over the phone?

You just need to talk to a IRCC officer to find it out.
