I have already landed on May and then I moved on June. I told the bolder officer my address change when I landed and I asked him what to do with CIC. The officer recommended me to buy a 'mail forward' service in Canada Post and not change anything in CIC. But now, i havent got my card. Is there anyone received the card recently? Does the envelope show 'do not forward'? Thanks!

Yes, the envelope says "do not forward".



I recall reading about someone who had their PR card sent to a forwarding address, but since the envelope says "do not forward", they had to pick it up at a Canada Post facility.

@bellaluna can you explain further? IF the envelope says 'do not forward' how did they get it sent to another address?

Will UPS be able to forward it? I currently use a UPS mailbox and they have a forwarding service

I don't think it was sent to another address or forwarded as the customer instructed--more like, it was stuck in Canada Post because they refused to forward it, so they had to pick it up directly. Sorry, I'm trying to remember where I read it, but it was pretty recent on this forum, and that's how I had understood it. If anyone else can share their experience proving the contrary, that would be more than welcome.
