I am trying to fill my work history in the online citizenship application but I am facing a problem, when i first came to canadaI was unemployed and living in Airbnb so when I fill my work history during my first month in Canada it is only month to month no days so I have like 4 addresses in September And there is no dates in it.

What should I do?

note: in the address of residence it is clear with days but when it comes to work while unemployed I had to write same residence-address in it.

will the officer understand it or it will be confusing for him? Especially that when i write September to October unemployed address after it the system doesn’t understand the order of months so it puts sep-oct before sep-sep.

I don't think you need the residence address for the work history. The address in the work history is the employer's address. The instruction guide says to put the location if you were unemployed, which I understand as the city and country. They can cross check your address with the address history for that period. You could put your last address from the 4, but it's redundant in my opinion.

I am just afraid it would confuse the officer if I provided one address only if he crossed check the addresses of residence form, do you think I should just attach an explanation letter?
Also I have read somewhere that I should provide my residence address if I am unemployed.
I have provided my residence in my home. Country while I was visiting family and unemployed as well.

I didn't provide residence address when I was unemployed. But you can attach a letter if you are very concerned. At the end a human being is processing your application, and they will take into consideration all the details you enter in all the fields.

what did you enter in the address field then?
And did your application get approved? when did you apply? Online?

I kept it empty. I just entered the city and the country. Yes, my application has been approved. I applied late 2019 paper-based, but this is irrelevant. At the end you do things at your own responsibility. People here are/were applicants just like you, not professional experts. Again, if you feel very anxious and concerned, write a letter explaining your situation.
