Sit down and think very hard! That's really all you can do.
This seems to be a hurdle for many people, so don't feel like you're all alone.

To make matters worse...CIC has been known to sometimes come back and ask for information all the way back to age 18...NOT just the last 10 years!
No idea why.


Good luck!

As someone who has lived in 7 different places in the last 10 years, i feel for you.

1) go thru your old bills, or tax forms, etc, anything you to find your old addresses. You'd be surprised what you can dig up.

2) start keeping a record of everywhere you lived. Include day moved in, day moved out, and full address including postal code. You will need this info for the rest of your life, not just immigration sponsorship. (i just had a security clearance for work and I had to provide this)

3) Becareful about misrepesentation. They wont deny you just because you lived in house A or city B. But they will deny you if they catch you lying on your form and ban you from canada for 2 years.

I had TWO additional pages listing my previous addresses for the past 10 years. It was impossible for me to remember the exact dates in which I moved in our out of specific places, plus I got rid of old rental contracts years ago when I started travelling full time. I had trouble remembering actual addresses too, so the best thing I could do was look up my Amazon account and check where I've had packages sent over during the past decade. Luckily I buy lots of stuff online! That didn't help with the dates but I added a paragraph explaining that I was unable to recall exact dates and that although I did my best, there was a chance that the details would not be 100% accurate. I don't think there should be any problem as long as you let them know about potential inaccuracies, but that's just my opinion.

we were asked to provide details from the age of 18. Kinda crazy

Don't understand, why they need address for past 10 years?

They need the addresses to run all of the background, security and criminality checks.

I moved 9 times in 9 years so I had the same problem.
I just guessed the street numbers (when I couldn't remember them) and the times when I lived where.

That's all I could do and I got approved
