Addresses for PR Card Renewal

[gdp79]

Late December 2016 Landed in Vancouver, became PR.
January 2017 Went to Saskatoon - destined address in my COPR; my SIN is registered in the hotel which Service Canada suggested.
January 2017 Returned to Manila for personal reasons.
June 2019 Returned to Vancouver, made an address there for my bank and phone account.
July 2019 Left Vancouver to travel around Canada + job hunt in Saskatchewan (failed!). Stayed in multiple places e.g. AirBnB and friends but short stay.
September 2019 Traveled to Europe
September 2019 Went back to Vancouver - stuck thanks to Covid.
January 2020 onwards - got a job in Vancouver, paid taxes/received benefits under Vancouver addresses.

Any suggestion what addresses to put? I don't care putting every place I went in Canada all those 2 years. I don't want to sound like a liar.

Complicator - Registered the PR Card to be sent to a colleague in SK around 2017 cos I would be gone then. I even mailed my photo two times from the Philippines to Sydney, NS because the one in my COPR was rejected.

Bottom line: I've been in Canada for two years, the problem is my addresses there prior to 2020 weren't straightforward.

Definitely list all your addresses for the past 5 years from the date you signed the application (even if address is temporary).

Thanks, Steaky.

Will do the effort (like 20ish addresses from Vancouver to St. John's New Foundland for 2 nights + stays in the VIA rail).

Know anybody their PR Renewal got screwed up related to addresses of the places they stayed in Canada?

 

[gdp79]

Btw. I had two addresses in BC - a weekend address which I use as a postal/healthcare address, another in downtown where I stay 6 times a week and is registered in my employment records. I take it I use the weekend address for the duration?

You don’t put via rail address for sure lol
For the nights spent in the train just keep your old address I reckon, it’s logical I believe.

Any address will work. Imagine you are rich and having 50 properties? You just one I reckon.

Thanks. My weekday address is just rent in downtown close to work. Not long-term. My weekend address 1.5 hours away from work is a relative who owns the place for years - so I mail things there. So poor. 50 properties? hell no! was nomadic for 3 months on those 20ish addresses.

Just put everything you can remember. There is nothing wrong with changing addresses frequently and nobody should care about it.

I thought the address history is to list your permanent address - but not anything temporary? But OP travelled a lot in the country and abroad - it might help to write as detailed as possible.

You don’t need to list temporary addresses especially those when you travel or going for the vacation.
Just your Main address.

In your opinion, what would be the main address? The address in her home country or the SK address?

SK for sure.

Listed all the 40 addresses in my "ADDRESS HISTORY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CANADA" just to be on the safe side. Honestly, I was almost nomadic from July-September 2019. I stayed in multiple places in SK.

There is a common topic that if you leave Canada before your PR card is delivered, you have it mailed to an address of a colleague. Will there be an issue that you never stayed there?
