I am currently in Canada and have sponsored my wife and kids for PR. I have moved to a different province recently and need to update my address of correspondence.
When I tried the online form it is also prompting me to change my wife's 'Canadian address' which is not the case. Her address is in India and mine in Canada.
Could someone point please tell me how to change just my address in Canada?

Changing the applicant’s address is not a mandatory fields/screen. You can skip it and it will only update the sponsor’s home and mailing address.

Very good, you should have mentioned your personal experience doing it. Cheers
 
Hello Friends; my visa was refused earlier this year...I want to change my sponsor for my reapplication. Is that okay?
This is what I have said in my LOE regarding the sponsorship change.

I had only submitted the bank statements of a very close family-friend residing in the USA. As this person resides outside his home-country of Ethiopia, my parents have helped him take care of a lot of his personal duties back home. Not only have they been supporting his family for a long time back when he wasn’t able to, but have also been supervising many projects he worked on here (as he could not be present). Providing the funds for my stay in University was an offer made by him as a way of repaying my family. However, I feel that this had swayed the visa officer and strengthened his/her assumptions regarding my family’s financial status in my country of residence. My parents have always taken care of my educational finances, and were willing to do the same for University had our plans not recently changed due the mentioned sponsor and his offer. Therefore, along with documents presenting family’s properties and assets, I have included my parents’ bank statements and a letter proving their willingness to sponsor me during my stay (refer to ‘Affidavit of support’ under Proof of Means of Financial Support). This can also be seen as additional to the funds from the mentioned relative presented in my previous application.
