You were only required to provide two pieces of evidence of residing in Canada during the 5 year assessment window.

For example, #2 and #3 satisfied that requirement.

CBSA records, which IRCC has access to (with or without the permission of the PR), is by far the biggest factor in assessment.

I am aware of that but given that I needed to show proof of living in Canada since I moved and I had no proper rental until 10 months after landing, I included the Airbnb information. The residential history from ICBC just helps back my residential statements.

Okay then that's good that they have all my info. I am a Nexus card holder and when I moved, I went to the closest location for both USA/CA border services and they both updated my information and new living location on both sides.
