Canada PR and change in Nationality

[braj]

Hello Folks,

I know this topic has been discussed earlier by other posters however looking through the responses it is somehow leading to more questions.

I will be receiving my Canadian PR card soon but I am also currently eligible for british nationality earned through living in the UK.

Once I receive the british nationality my old passport will become invalid and the nationality details shown on Canadian PR card will be different. Will there be any problems while entering Canada next time?

Some say one need to contact the Canadian Embassy in London to let them know of the change in nationality prior to re-entry to Canada. This will take ages as the London processing offices could take forever.
Some recommend contacting the CIC in Canada who deal with PR Card. I know one cant apply for change of details in PR card whilst outside Canada.
And others recommend travelling with both passport (current and invalid) and explain the situation at the port of entry immigration officer.

What's feasible and legal in such circumstances?

Any soul with first hand experience on this matter please advise. A valid govt. of canada weblink explaining such scenarios will also be really useful.

thanks a lot!

Hi,

As are a landed immigrant, waiting for your PR Card, if you contact CIC Call Center in Canada, they would advice you, whether it is possible to get your PR Card updated with your new nationality information. Otherwise, there could be problems at the POE when you re-enter with a UK passport and a different nationality on your PR Card. In order to avoid any such possible impediments, I suggest you to talk to an agent at the CIC call center and ask about the procedure.

There could be different opinions from others.

Can anyone suggest (in context of this post) on how to change nationality on PR card ?

I have changed my nationality to british and my PR card still shows indian and i don't want to carry indian passport.

Do i have to apply for change in PR card ? CIC does not amend the change of circumstance on PR card if it has happened after PR card and its not CIC error.

Thanks in advance.
