I apologize if this question was asked before. I applied for citizenship and received an AOR with a home address in Canada. Now I am going away for at least 6 months. I don't have a home address in Canada anymore because I was renting an apartment.

For the time I am away, I will use my Canadian friends' address as my mailing address. However, do I need to change my home address to outside of Canada because I will be away for a long time? And if I do, would it cause any delay in processing of my application?
Thanks!

Hi, I had different answers. In a nutshell, changing the address doesn't seem to delay the processing of application, and many people recommend informing IRCC. However, other people said if you don't change the address, it is also ok as long as you are able to come back to Canada for the test. So, I guess there is no single right answer, and all depends on your personal circumstances.

Wouldn’t it be misrepresentation if you don’t change your address to an outside Canada address ?
thanks

I am not an expert, so I can't tell you for sure. I just summarized what other people on the forum have been posting on this topic so far.
