PR Card Renewal -URGENT

Hi,

I have applied for PR Card renewal. CIC received Application on Sept 30 (canada post confirmation). I checked my status and it still shows I am not in system may be because processing has not started. I am Moving on Nov. 1st. I have done mail forwarding of Canada post to my new address. Since my application is not shown online, I cannot change my address online to indicate CIC of change of address.

1. Does anybody knows if "DO NOT FORWARD" is return on PR card envelop sent by CIC? If so, Canada Post will not forward my PR Card to new address. If Canada Post do not deliver, where does PR card goes?

2. I am checking my status online everyday. Infact one of my friend send the PR card renewal application on Aug 19 and they said that they started processing PR card on October 10th and Decision Made on October 16th. Than means only 6 days he had to change address in case he wanted. I am afraid that in my case, it can happen even in 2-3 days (Which means I will get only 2-3 days to change my address. Hopefully it will show online before my PR card is mailed, otherwise I will have no chance to change the address online).

3. I called CIC and they said that they cannot see my application as well (as they uses the same system to look for the PR card status as me)

Please advise what should I do now? Should I write letter to CPC Sydney and ask for change of address (hoping they will take appropriate action)? But meantime if my application appear online I can change address online. Will this create further confusion if they receive the letter as well as I change my address online?

I'm in a similar position. I couriered by application via FedEx and it was delivered August 24th 2013. I called in September because my application did not yet show up as in process to see if they at least received my application they told me I would have to wait the full length of time to process before I could make an inquiry. Now that 82 calender days have passed and I still do not have any status on this application I'm going to call them again. Not holding out too much hope seeing as how my citizenship application was submitted 2 years ago and that is still in progress. I guess I'll have to go back to getting visas, since I have to travel frequently for work.
