Hello guys,

I am going to submit my eAPR in a couple of days.
I am applying from Russia atm, but will probably need to move to Ukraine after my eAPR is submitted(in a month or so).
Can I do it? My plan is to move to Ukraine for about 6 months, and in case during this time my application is approved then I will relocate to Canada.
Is it something I can do? Or is it better to stay in Russia during this time? Where will I need to send my passport to?

You can move but make sure to notify IRCC regarding your address change through the web form.

of course you can do it. Life goes on after application submission, you can't put your life on hold. Just inform CIC that your address is changed now. The link would be in your AOR letter. That's it. In this way, they will ask you to submit your passports to nearest visa office to you. Similar thing happened in my case.

Were you living in Canada? The CIC website's instructions suggest using the webform only if your address is in Canada but to contact your local visa office if you live abroad.

did you wait for PPR to inform them? I'm scared they move my files to a new VO or request new PC and delay everything even further than they already have

Honestly I didn't have time to inform them as they sent me PPR just after 4 days of me moving to the other country.

Simply inform them through CSE about your situation, the PPR will most likely contain instructions got Pakistan visa offices then

Hi
I am in a similar situation and I would be grateful if you can confirm how did it work out for you in the end.
I have applied from UK but my father in Pakistan is very unwell and I have to go back to look after him.

Hello Everyone ,

I submitted my Canada Express Entry application from India in November 2019 and then shifted to Australia in December 2019. I have updated the address using the web form. I have 2 questions:

1) After updating the address from the web form i have not received any communication from them ( Its been 15 days) . What should i do ? is there any way to check if they have updated my address in the application or not ? I changed my address from India to Australia.

2) Since i have moved to Australia in Dec 2019, do i need to submit a PCC from Australia if my application is not processed within 6 months ? I moved to Australia after submitting my application in India, however i am not sure if my Canada PR will be approved before 6 months, and during that 6 months i would have stayed in a new country ( Australia) . So do i need to submit a PCC when i complete my 6 months in Australia ? If yes, should i myself submit ? or should i wait for them to ask ?

Hi, hope you are in Canada now. What did you do then? Submitted the PCC from Australia as well?
