How do I notify Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) of an address change?

In Canada

• You can submit an address change via the change of address service online, in some cases. See the full list of requirements to use this service.
• You can also notify CIC via the Call Centre.

It can take up to 15 business days for the address change to be processed.

Outside Canada

• You must contact the visa office where you applied. Look for the Case Specific Inquiry box on the visa office web page.
