1. I lived in Canada for two years on an IEC visa. I specified this in the personal history section, but not in travel history (I didn't it counted as travel since I moved). Will this be a problem?

2. When I lived in Canada, it took me a few weeks to find a place to live when I moved there, so in the address history section, I put down my address in my home country for that period. Is that alright?

Thanks all.

1) not a problem, travel is only for short trips.
2) might be a problem as your passport might have an entry stamp with date which will conflict with the address history.

Regarding #2, the entry was on my old passport, so they wouldn't see it there. Assuming it was on my current passport though, what should I have done? I didn't want to put down the address with an early date as that'd be dishonest, and putting down the hotels I stayed in while looking for a place didn't make sense to me. Thank you for the quick reply. :D

I think your approach is fine. Please include an LoE explaining the address cited.

^ Anyone know if I'll be alright without an LOE for this? They'll know when I moved to Canada since I put it in the personal history section. Getting nervous now, ha!

IMHO, you should've included a LoE and a copy of your old passport as well. Anyways, don't worry since they'll ask for additional documents, if and when they deem necessary.

Hey all, sorry to bug you folks again. Number 2 is still bugging me... Do you folks reckon it'd be worth sending IRCC an explanation?
