Hi all reposting this as my first poat did not receive comments

Thank you all

Hey everyone
I wanted to ask if there is any issue with an old address that was on my bank statements when I came to Canada for soft landing and opened a bank account. This address has long changed a couple of times however it still shows on my credit history which is used for authenticating criminality checks. I am worried that it might show up in the background check done by IRCC.
I was wondering what everyone thinks

I opened my bank account with the hotel address I was staying at for 2 months. Later changed it to the apartment i moved into. Never thought addresses cause issue. Not sure why you are so concerned. It's just another address in Canada. Nothing illegal about it.

Thank you for replying back
Its just that I did not add this address to my address history because I never lived in it and given its in my credit history it might show up
This is whats concerning me

You are way overthinking. It won’t be any issue.
Thank you I appreciate the response
Yea I tend to overthink
The address was just used during my soft landing until four months when I changed it to my actual address but its stuck on my credit report address history this is why I am worried

You are fine. If you haven’t mentioned it , it won’t affect your application. So be positive and carry on .
