Should address history be aligned with CRA or driver licence

[Honsen]

Hi Folks,

I am filling the form for Citizenship Application. I have a question about my residency history:
- Is the address check strict, and needed to be aligned with CRA or driving licence?

My situation is I changed my address to my secondary property B in Nov 2024. The change has been reflected on CRA and my driver licence history. But I still wanna use the primary resident property A to receive the mail as I gonna move back to primary one in the first half year.

Address B has been in my resident history within recent 5 years, but
- I am not sure if I still need to fill the temporary move into the resident history

My address history:
B, 2020-01 to 2022-09
A, 2022-09 to 2024-11
(B, 2024-11, present)

Thanks for viewing and answering.

You can inform IRCC when you actually move. Also all communication is via email these it. No need to complicate your application.

Thanks. What do you mean all communication is via email? With IRCC?

Yeah, I don't wanna complicate these, esp. I would not need to add a new address. So I hope not to add this change, but I will choose online application. If nothing gonna be mailed to me, then it might be safe?

Thanks. If I choose online application, does the address in contact info still matter?

Yeah, I own both of the properties.

If they cannot reach to you they will mail you to your home.

Everything comes via email. If you don't have an email is when they communicate with you via mail.
