After landing in Canada with PR, your application for PR card will be initiated. It will be done by Immigration Officer at Airport itself. You need to provide your address in Canada and if you think photos attached with your COPR is not as per the specifications by CIC, give the new photos here itself. If you would like to change the address later on, then follow this procedure Changing the address for PR Card app
To track the status of your PR Card application, you can link it online to your MyCIC account. To do that, first login to your account and click on “Link an existing application to this account”.
This will open a page with options to select PR Card as application type and provide the required details to search and link the application as shown below.
Select Permanent Resident Card.
Provide the required details.
The value of City/town of birth should be exactly same as in your PR application. In COPR, you will see truncated value of this, please enter the full value.
For example, If your City of birth is “Amritsar, Punjab” in COPR it could be printed like
PLACE OF BIRTH: AMRITSAR, PUN
Then in this search for application, you should type full AMRITSAR, PUNJAB instead of wrong values like “Amritsar” or “AMRITSAR, PUN”.
After providing all the information, click on Search for my application and if search is successful, you will get the option to link the application.
After linking, the application is shown in the table of “View my submitted applications or profiles”.
You can check the details of the application here and track the progress.
The flow which is trending these days for most of the applications are as below
Stage 1:
| Review of additional documents | We do not need additional documents. |
Stage 2:

Or

Hello deo_gill
I need an advice from you. We are the family of 4 ( Me, my wife and 2 children) became permanent resident on 23rd December 2018 and landed the same date in Canada. However after two days I was able to link 3 of our permanent resident card application. But whenever I tried to link my younger son’s application who is only 7 years old every time it says “no application found” even though I entered all the correct info for him. Now I am wondering as we did everything together and already able to link 3 applications out of 4 then what’s wrong with other one. Is it something wrong or it is normal.
Your advice will be appreciated.

Thanks I was able to link in with your advice on Place of birth. Also, for benefit of others it seems that Application no on COPR is not the one it recognized while trying to link online. I used UCI and Family Name and it worked.

I failed to link PR card application 1 week after landing at Apr 7 (Saturday). Someone think the ‘Date You Became a Permanent Resident” shall be “Issued Date” from my CoPR rather than the actual landing date. Is this true. If the city of birth is correct, what could be the reason that I am not able to find my application?
Thanks

You can enter Canada via road using COPR.
