Depends if you move to an area covered by the same Local Office then no transfer. This is most likely the case if you live in a province with only one CIC office or at most 2 offices covering a large geographical spread. If you move in the GTA though you could more easily end up with a different Local Office.

Hi everyone,

I moved from Ontario to Alberta, and I will be eligible to apply for citizenship by the end of the year.

Do I need to notify the CIC about the change of my address while I'm PR but don't have an application in process?

If there is no application in process; then no point for the update...
