Living in a shelter won't have any impact on the claim (either positive or negative).

someone told me if i leave the shelter the goverment will find out becuase i told them when seek refugee at the border i dont know anyone in canada. is this true.

If you leave the shelter and your address, changes, then you certainly need to notify immigration. So yes - in that way they would find out that you've left the shelter and moved to a different address.

It doesn't matter where you live, what matters is Genuity in your refugee case and how well you answered all your questions in your hearing. most important it totally depends upon the board member to decide on your case.

as Syclla said, you need to notify from your end to immigration for any changes of address.

best of luck
