I would like to have some questions regarding my addresses.
1/ Should I fill out the address in my language or in English?
2/ In 2001, I lived in (A), then in 2004 I lived in (B) for studing, and in 2008 I moved back to (A).
Should I fill in like this?

2001-2004: I lived in (A)
2004-2008: I lived in (B)
2008-current: (A)

I moved a lot since I was 18, and the space for this section is not enought, should I explain in another paper?
And I wonder how CIC confirms the address information? I don't remember exactly all of the addresses I used to live in, should I miss any address?

Thanks.

i have moved a lot too, thi is how i did it:

I was even more granular than the way you wrote above. For example, if i was home during the school vacation, I put (A) for the periods of my vacation. I don't think its necessary to be that granular. I also explained in a paragraph below that these were school holidays.

yes, use a different sheet of paper if you have to.

I made sure i did not miss any address. i dont know how they check though.

I never request a Police certificate, so I don't know what they report. But I wonder if they write your address in the report?
Each country is different, but I think whenever you move, that address was recorded in documents, I am just not sure if police have that kind of document and show it in the report.

Any idea about this?
Thanks.
