Address history for PR application

[majedabd7]

Hi all,

For "Provide all of the addresses where you have lived in the past ten years or since your 18th birthday, whichever is most recent. Do not leave any gaps.": do I need input addresses when I traveled back to my home country for 3-4weeks? Or should I input the address in Canada that would receive my mails?

For example, I used to live in address A in Canada in 2015. On 1 Dec 2015, I went to my home country, which is address B. Then I came back to Canadian address A on 7 Jan 2016.

So:
1. Should I put Address A (from 1 Jan 2015 to 30 Nov 2015), then Address B (from 1 Dec 2015 to 6 Jan 2016) and then Address A (from 7 Jan 2016 onwards)? Also how accurate these dates have to be? Like say if these dates are off by 1 day due to flying or layover is that ok?

OR

2. Should I just put Address A (from 1 Jan 2015 onwards) only as this address was the address where I received my official mails.

Please help me.

Thank you in advance.

I suggest, number 1. Thats how I filled out that part for my application. You do not gave to put dates. Example 2010-05 to 2010-07 , 19th street bailey, barbados...

Option 2. Address A has been your continuous address so input it as such. Up to you if you want to include address B, you weren’t there long enough for it to class as an address, and received no official mail there.

Address A as January 2015 onwards ensures there are no gaps, even if you include address B for the 3+ weeks you were there for vacation.

I would go with option 2. As long as other details in your application syncs with the address. eg, your work location hasn't changed or perhaps your school location hasn't changed (foreign exchange eg).

Thank you all for the replies. If I go with option 2, do I still put my address B? Or just putting address A is sufficient?

You can put both for peace of mind.

Hi,

Sorry, I am still confused.

Do I put address A from 1st Jan 2015 to say to 2nd Feb 2016? Then put address B from 1 Dec 2015 to 6 Jan 2016.

In that way, I am showing I lived in both addresses at the same time from 1 Dec 2015 to 6 Jan 2016. Is that ok?

Yes. One was your address and the other was temporary. Up to you if you want to put the temporary one.

Will it be a problem if I do not put address B in my home town at all? Like if I leave it out completely?

hi guys im posting this here as well as im slightly worried.

I applied for my PR back in 2017 through a lawyer and was just looking at the application today as i was preparing my citizenship application.

Under Canadian address history they put from 2015-02-15 till 2016-06-15. In actually fact i was only there until 2015-12-01 before moving onto the next address.

Now for my citizenship application i have to include past 5 years address history so there will be a discrepancy.

Should i ignore it as it is non material or should in include a letter of explanation saying address was mistakenly put wrong at time of PR application?

can anyone please offer any insight into this as i am quite worried
