Hello Everyone

Quick Question

On the Ecas, PR Side changed to DM already, the Sponsorship side still shows IN PROCESS. anyone has the same thing?

Also, my wife (The principle application) has already got PPR and the passport has sent out and received by VAC. Do I need to update my address in Canada as a sponsor with CIC? or my address does't matter to CIC?

Thanks!

I didn't have that anomaly with Ecas but it isn't important. The PPR is a big success beyond that stage.

Yes you have to update your address. Your wife is going to be living at your address and CIC expects that. Her PR card will be mailed to your address.

in the PPR email, CIC mentioned if the principle application's mailing address has changed, then we need to notify CIC, but they never mention anything about sponsor. For the PR card mailing, I heard a lot of people being asked to provide a mailing address when they land at the airport in Canada in order for them to receive PR card. I am just wondering.

Thanks for the reply. :)

Great! Congrats! May I ask why you got SA in August, but the application was sent to HK in September? I got my SA today, but they said the docs would be sent to HK. So they will hold one month before sending the docs?

@Jameslong:

Yes, my SA email said that too. I received that in July. A month later, my wife received an email that her file had been transferred to Hong Kong.

I don't know when the CIC actually sent the file, but there was six weeks between those two dates.

@DKO:

The COPR and Permanent Resident Visa are the two documents the immigration officer checks. We didn't receive a separate "landing paper."

Sorry for my typo.... COPR. I think I received the general e-mail that use for passport request. However, in my case HKVO only needs my new formate of photos to issue my COPR. I'm from visa exempt country.

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone kwows about this.... The original city of destination that I wrote on my app. was Burnaby, BC. Therefore, I have it written on my COPR. But now my destination city is Duncan, BC. Will I have to contact HKVO to issue me an update COPR?

If you already have the COPR then you wouldn't need a new one but CIC has to be updated so that your PR card goes to your new address. You would certainly inform them at your landing interview. If you know your new address now the applicant can inform CIC by the E-cas link for address change. Your new destination would then be implied. My opinion anyway.
