I currently live in mississauga and i have submitted my citizenship app in Oct 2014. Current status of it is that its IN PROCESS and to my understanding of CIC CSR, the file has been transferred to mississauga. I am just waiting for the test date communication.

Problem is i am gonna be moving into my new address in Mar 1st week and that is in brampton.

Question #
1: Is it gonna be a problem that i am changing address when i am expecting the test date?
One thing i am gonna do is do a mail fwding service from Canada Post hoping that my test letter is gonna be forwarded to the new address
Second thing i am gonna do is to inform the new owner that if by mistake any mail is delivered to present address to inform me so i could stop by and pick it up.

2. Is it wise to inform CIC abt the address change though they encourage it that way.
My worry is that I dont want to attract any RQ attention to my case.

Any suggestions / thoughts are welcome.

Please don't be mean by judging me on my decisions. After all, be in my shoes and tell me what would you do.

Thanks again for your time.

It is very normal not a big deal.
If your address is changed in system the day they print letter..it will be sent to new address.
In case you are worried change address in eCAS around 20-Feb and you will be good and also confirm with call center after 2-3 days once your new address shows changed.
Letter is sent from local office so normal time to receive in 3-4 days.
I have changed address.. my friends have changed address . I have not received any RQ yet and my friends have oath letter. No RQ..

please update the address online beforehand like 3-4 days in advance. also call cic call centre to confirm the same.

Documents issued by CIC states "DO NOT FORWARD", so it can't be forwarded by Canadapost
Also, please tell someone at your old address to check the mails for you and if they get one, they can inform you so that you can pick it up from them.
