Dear everyone who is reading this message,

I have a very important question that torments me and I want to ask you and your advice;

In my application tracker in my contact information I provided a mailing address where I don`t reside but it will be convinient to get all paper mailing,
I am very concern about the fact that the mailing address has to match my current country of residency.

The reason why I am asking this question is because there is a different category as "Address history" where I provided real address where I live now or had lived before.

Is it OK if mailing address and physical address are different in my application or they must be the same ?

Please, if you know the answer, I would appreciate if you could explain me and in case if yes - is it possible to change my mailing address to the one where I am currently residing ?
I see on the IRCC official web site there is a web form to raise for those who is outland and if application is in progress only via contactin the Local Visa Office.
Is the Web Form not available for those who is applying for PR ?

Thank you so much!

For clarification. The mailing address you provided is in a totally different country from where you reside? And that is more convenient? There is only one situation I can see you explaining this and that's if you are a temporary resident in a third party country for a short period of time. Less than 6 months work term maybe, while the other location is your permanent home address. Other than that you can not justify having 2 different countries as resident and mailing.

Outland application are done by Visa centres and the one selected would be the closes to your residential address. So you can see you have an obvious problem.
