I noticed in the "Guide 5525" it mentions to always type full addresses, no abbreviations, with full street names and postal codes.

Addresses
Addresses should be written out in full without using any abbreviations. Use the apartment or unit number, if applicable. Example: 999 Family Street, Unit #3, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K3J 9T5
But I'm finding that in many of the forms necessary, there isn't enough room to fit full addresses. For example, on Form IMM5532 it asks for dates you've travelled to see each other and where you've stayed. The sample listed above doesn't even fit in the "location" box, and cuts off at "999 Family Street, Unit #3, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K3J" when copied into the PDF.

I'm assuming its ok to abbreviate in these cases? Because they don't really give a better option...
 
On the form where it asks about your trips and where you stayed, you can actually just put the city and province, they don't need the full address there. For example, "Sponsor's house, Ottawa, Ontario"

On any other forms if you run into an issue you can attach a separate sheet with the full address.

Ok thank you. Its good to know they won't stress over that detail. I did attach separate sheets already, because my wife has a somewhat long housing/job history before getting into her stable career. But just to be safe, I'm including full addresses on all the separate sheets. :)

Again, thanks! A lot these instructions are not so clear.
