Then change address on CIC website, ask your local Canada post office to transfer your mail to a new address (4 months for 60$) and tell your landlord that you are going to use his/her mailbox. Nothing to worry about.

Is it enough to change address online or do we actually need to call for that. I heard some ppl changed address but they still received notices to the old one.

I moved from a city to another, and I did not change my address. All what I did is 'mail forwarding". However, some letters were forwarded and some others were delivered to the old address!

It is Canada Post!

The problem with this option is if the process last longer and you receive RQ they may ask you for all addresses where u lived before or they may ask you in interview where u live. How you gonna prove you live in the same address they have on file? How about your DL and Health cards ? did you update address on them ? if so remember you will show them on interview day and they will find out you moved and didn't bother to change your address with CIC.

I do not see any problem to have a different address you live in than the one in file. You will prove that you are living at your real address using real documents and papers. The one in file is your choice so that you do not change local office.
