Hi guys, I have a confusion about Q10 in IMM 0008 regarding current country of residence. I am sponsoring both my parents. My mother (principal applicant) is currently visiting us in Canada on Super Visa , she arrived in late Jan 2019. My father is in India and he will be sending me his stamped photograph and other documents.
1. What should be her current country of residence? Could the current country of residence depend on whether or not she stays in Canada more than 6 months?
2. If her current country of residence is Canada, what should I put as the To date? She will go back sometime in June but we do not have a final date yet
3. Not sure what happens to her biometric in this case. I am thinking to put June 30th 2019 as the To date so that by the CIC receives our application, they will know my mother is back home in India and send a biometric request for her. Thoughts?

You can use your first name in both the sections
Well. I am sorry to say but this is not a correct answer.
As per CIC, if one does not have last name then they should put their first name in the last name and leave the first name empty.

This is from CIC website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=014&top=4

What do you mean by surname?
Your surname is your family name. It is also called your “last name.” When filling out applications, type your surname as it appears on your passport, travel or identity document.

Do not use initials.

If you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank. Do not enter “Not applicable,” “*” or “NA.”

Did you send courier? If yes, did you confirm which address it was delivered to?
I sent with courier, earlier today they said address correction required.
But I just received a call from them saying they are sending to 2303 stevenage dr, Ottawa. All UPS, Fedex and Purolator mails go there for IRCC.

Did your's get delivered?
