I wouldn't worry about the postal code if the rest of the address is correct. It may be delayed but it will usually get delivered correctly (if a sorting machine cannot match the postal code to the address, it will be routed for manual sorting and it will be fixed). Refer to https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/kb/details.page?article=what_happens_to_a_it&cattype=kb&cat=sending&subcat=generalinformation

I didn't understand

The postal code is mainly used to help machines sort and redirect to the right bins. if the error is on the last 3 digits, it might be the same post office which will deal but if it is the first 3 digits, it may be going to the wrong post office then get redelivered to the correct one, causing a delay.

It was almost always successful when I called between 11 am and 1 pm (from vancouver). Call between tuesday and thursday. Using webform even if takes 10 days is the best bet. They are anyway not going to post your PR card before 8-9 weeks. You have plenty of time to change address.

The first 3 instead of H7T she wrote H1T

This isn't too bad, it might be a common error and both is in the same area (Rosemont vs Chomedey). I wouldn't worry about that.
