Hi,
Received an ITA this weekend one of the questions asks me to provide all of the addresses where I've lived since turning 18 without gaps. I've always had a Canadian address since 2016 (when I turned 18), but during Covid I visited my family in India and was stuck there for 8 months due to vaccination status. I did pay rent during that time for my place in Canada so I've listed all my Canada addresses without gaps, but since I'm providing a police clearance certificate for those 8 months spent in India am I also supposed to add the address where I stayed for that? Not sure because that'll show an overlap, but also my address in India was just my parents' home that I was staying at and not technically "residing there" because my job and house still existed in Canada.

Would appreciate any help, thanks!

So the form is asking you where you stayed in last 10 years and not the places you paid lease or owned. Just the places you stayed physically.

8 months is a significant period, do mention that, here over lapping is not an issue at all , let that overlap, you may want to explain your situation in LOE when you apply
