You have to use the number given at the back side starting with 'PA'. It should be there on top

Ok in this case use the email form on this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp

It says "If you can’t change your address online, you can change it using this email form (in Canada only). Follow the instructions and include all the details we ask for."

Here is the direct link to form https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx?_ga=1.139590899.1531616080.1397516444

Just select 'change of address' in 'Type of Application' box

hope it helps
