I would suggest calling them up and making the change while you on call. In that way within a week all system will reflect your new address
I have made several attempts to call them and tried all possible options. In the end I get a recorded message to go online or try calling again. I have completed a webform just this week. Hoping that somewhere down the line before the 'DM' status someone updates my address.

I was in the same boat until Wednesday. Someone in this group suggested trying calling at 8:00 A.M which is what we did on Wednesday and got an option for a call back .. which we did and IRCC promptly returned that call in 15 mins where we updated the address and also asked questions on our file etc.

What options or menu option numbers did you press as whenever I've tried to speak to a human voice....they're always full and this is bang on at 8am!

Hey there are a few options you need to select . Am so sorry but don't remember everything .. once you enter your UCI number it will tell you that you are in the line and can assign a callback then you can be assured that someone will call back ..

Hi

I would say keep trying at 8 :00 A.M Monday to Friday .. you will eventually get through .. that's what we did.. It frustrating but trust me its worth it when you get through

Hi guys!
september 2019 applicant here. I have decision made in old system, passed the test back in June. My question is.... well I guess I mostly need advice.
I got tickets to go to Seattle in October for a concert. My PR card expires in September... I applied for a new one but heard nothing yet. Is there any way I can come back to the country with an expired PR if I don’t get my citizenship by then? I’ll be in Seattle for 3 days so I don’t know if it’s enough time to apply for a travel document while I’m there?

thank a lot!

Hi there!
I sent my passport pages 2 weeks ago but haven't heard anything back from them. Should I call/email? If yes, who? The Mississauga office or the IRCC call centre?
On a side note, I've just checked the 2020 applicants spreadsheet and saw that even some of the December 2020 applicants have got the Oath ceremonies? How come? It's really so not fair! Why????? What are we punished for?

When did you submit your PR renewal application?

Mississauga office doesn't respond to passport request submissions. If you've sent the file by responding to the email, you should be good.

Back in March. But when I try to go online to check if it’s being processed there is no record about it :/ just my citizenship application comes up on ecas ‍♀
You have a good chance to get your PR before October. I think obtaining your PR before leaving would be your best option.

Look at other cases here:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-card-new-renewal-processing-timeline-2021.724984/page-57

If you’re lucky, AOR comes together with Decision Made and the card is mailed quickly after.

If you aren’t lucky, travel by car and show your CoPR + passport at the border.
