Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

Yes, you can change address after landing. Explain the above to the agent and s/he will give you a change of address form which will list three ways you can update your address post landing: online, phone, by mail. Follow one of these methods to update your new address.

NOTE: I couldn't update mine online. Was able to do it without hassles on the phone.

Thank you, so does that mean that we don't have to give any address for PR cards at all during landing and chose tonprovide one at a later date, or that we have to provide an address then can change it later?

I can't definitively tell you whether one can get by without provining any address at landing. The landing agent in my case did not want to accept the address that I had provided as part of my application because I said we were only staying for a short period this time around. She said we'd have to formally update the address once we're permanently back in Canada and that the card would be processed then. I simply called IRCC the following morning and provided the address--they accepted it. My card was delivered on 2/26; still waiting on family members' cards.

Ask if they can send you the notification by email. That's what they did with me. The physical letter was sent almost three weeks after that. You need to include their communication (either the electonic one or the hard copy letter) along with the photos and form IMM5455.

Note that the email notification does not contain any file reference number. The hard copy does. Folks on this forum have recommended that one handwrite the UCI number on the IMM form and also make a note in the cover letter.

This is what the resubmission request sent via email looks like:

Sir, Madam,

Don't know..it seems be really common. A friend of mine who landed last november got a photo re-submission request in like February. I spoke with someone else who said they know of about 3 people that had their photos requested again as well. Not too sure what's goin on.
