I re-checked my mail, but they have not asked any intended address in Canada at all. They only asked a Confirmation Letter of my current address (as a proof that it has not changed during the course of the application), but not a Canadian one.... Probably because I have not listed any friends/family/acquaintance in Canada at any point in the application (since I have none); and as you said, one cannot plan for residence settlement unless they have their CoPR in their pocket.
So, I assume it is advisable you submit your friend's address there - in any case it will be 'more' permanent than any address we can provide until we get a proper longer-time lease agreement once we go there...
Do you plan to go to PEI as well or elsewhere, btw?
Hey, its the same for me.
I have no family in Canada nor did i list anyone from Canada in my application.
I am surprised that they are asking for Canadian address.
I don't plan on living in PEI but that's where my friend lives.
For step 5, I simply printed out my friends address and stated that it is tentative.
You must submit together:
1. One copy of this letter.
2. ORIGINAL VALID PASSPORT(S), as explained in Step 2.
3. Two (2) photos of yourself and each accompanying family member respecting precise specifications.
4. Payment of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) $490CAD x 1, 2, 3.
5. The complete address in which you intend to live in Canada and specify your current country of residence.
