Email notification or online application update after landing?

[i_luv_cannata]

Hi all,

I just completed my landing in Vancouver last Sunday, and the process at the immigration office went pretty smoothly. A few routine questions, and voila! the officer said "congratulations, you are new a permanent resident". I signed the CoPR, and took back my copy. I gave a temporary mailing address for them to mail the PR card, and came back to the US.

Now, will I get an email notification or update to my online application when they have received or started processing my PR card? Or, will I just get notified after they have mailed out the PR card after the estimated 61 days of processing?

Thanks for your help & information!

No email notification. The online records will eventually be updated (my husband's took several months). PR card will probably come first.

Thanks scylla. Wow, it is hard to be in suspense, after such close tracking of status up until this stage. I followed the advice of folks on this forum and rented a UPS mailbox, and gave that as the address. It does not say "PO box" but only "suite". Not sure if that would cause any issues??

Hi i_luv_cannata
Try to link your PR card application and track the status of your card on mycic.

Follow below step for linking PR card application

First, you have to login into My CIC account

1 .Then on home page you will be able to see one button called "Linked my application"
2. Click on that button and after that you have to select "PR card" as a option from drop down
3. Try to find your application details with UCI and Family name
4. Enter city of your birth same as per your passport (make sure you are entering same city name as per your passport for e.g if your city name is like this ABC, XYZ then enter the same details in CIC)
5. Enter correct landing date and click on "Search application"

if your all the entered details will match with CIC record then you will able to see one button called "Link my application" click on that and that's it. you are good to see your application details

I hope this detail will help you

Thanks alimzlm, I was able to link my application. I also wanted to check if the mailing address that I gave at immigration is correctly entered in the system. But when I try to use the "Change My Address" option and enter the details, it doesn't recognize me. Is there a waiting period for my profile to become active?

Hi,

Can you please provide more details of UPS mailbox? I am also planning to use one.

Which city? What is the rate? What is the process of setting up?
