Canadian Address for PR Card

sorry intend to visit canada and apply for ur PR card? U wudnt need to apply for PR card. When u land, you can mention the new address to the IO but then i dont know, i havent landed yet but if the PR card needs to have an address on it, then they wud put the lawyers address on the PR card too...

i am not sure whether they wud send it to an address outside canada....otherwise just contact a lawyer and give his address...wont be a problem...so many first time immigrants land and then they leave back to their country, even they do not have addresses......just give ur lawyers address and once ur lawyer has it, he/she can just send it to u...no big deal

Caution:

See section 20(1) of IRPA, referred to the enforcement operation manual for POE examinations.

It states:

20. (1) Every foreign national, other than a foreign national referred to in section 19, who seeks to enter or remain in Canada must establish, (a) to become a permanent resident, that they hold the visa or other document required under the regulations and have come to Canada in order to establish permanent residence;

(emphasis added)

I know of no one who was questioned closely about this (the part I put in bold) upon approaching a POE to land as a PR, and I don't know the format for the CoPR when the PR was granted in a class other than a sponsored person (for sponsored persons, the CoPR specifically requires a Canadian residential address, usually the address of the sponsor, and that is one of the very few questions asked upon landing), so I do not know when or how this issue would arise in the landing interview. But I also know that there is a "non-genuine immigrant" category in the table for issuing an A41 "non-compliance allegation" report, referring to the obligation of a landing immigrant's obligation to "establish intent to establish residency." (see item 12 in the table of ENF 5 found at:

If you have a lawyer, I'd talk to your lawyer about this. Just to be on the safe side.

I presume you can explain the obvious, and what you plan to do is very commonly done, that is, people land, return to their home country to settle affairs, finish work obligations, and so on, then return to Canada to fully establish their life in Canada. Just that it is best to be fully aware of the vagaries of the process and be able to clearly explain your intentions. Misunderstandings are, perhaps, one of the more common problems people encounter in going through processes like this.
