Landing in May then returning to UK
Can anyone help please - we are landing in CA in May then having to return to UK while house sells. Do we need an address in CA for the PR card to be sent or can it be sent to UK.
Thanks
Thanks

It can't be sent to the UK, but if you haven't got an address in Canada yet (or a friend's you could use), you can apply for your PR card when you move here permanently instead - it doesn't have to be done at the time of landing. If you apply within 6mths of landing, there's no charge for the card - if you apply after that I think it costs iro 50 CAD.

Thanks for that - I was getting a bit concerned - I suppose at a push we could use the solicitors couldn't we - I just wanted to avoid further costs.
