Take it easy dude. People are not all the same. We're all here to provide and/or seek guidance. Nobody wants to be belittled, so chill.OP_POP said:
Tamara, you have nothing to worry about as long as the new address is somewhere in Canada. There is no limit to the amount of times you can change your address as long as each new address is somewhere in Canada. However, if I were you, I would try to stick to one address until I receive my citizenship.
I was chill and didn't want to belittle anyone. Read my response again and tell me what was wrong with it. I just wanted to let her know she should really stop being worried about every single details about her application as long as she has nothing to hide.tds69us said:

I'll answer this if you can find one convincing (CIC source, newspaper or ATIP or a really solid anecdotal report) reason why this might be a problem. If you can't find a solid justification, then it's just you being unkind to yourself and worrying yourself (and others) out without a good reason.
On the other hand, it's really easy to find people who had problems because they didn't update their address ("friend was supposed to check the mail...")
The issue is how well informed the opinion is.neutral said:
The issue is freaking oneself and others out without justification. There is a lot of misinformation about CIC processes because of how secretive the agency is. Let's not add to the misinformation and anxiety for ourselves and others.
I have found zero indication that "moving too much" within Canada before or after applying for citizenship is an RQ or delay trigger. And I have looked through many thousands of anecdotal reports, CIC documents and ATIP results. Have you looked?
Such proof (or even indication) does not exist. If you have such proof to back up your feelings, please let us know.
The only problem it can cause is if CIC mistakenly or purposefully sends important mail to old addresses. This happens rarely. Much more common is CIC sending important mail to an old address that was never updated and the applicant missing it, and the test/oath/RQ deadline, because their ex-roommate didn't check the mail very often.
The difference between those scenarios is that CIC is at fault in one and the applicant is at fault in the other. When the applicant is at fault for missing an important notice, the CIC is far less understanding.
As applicants we need to minimize the mistakes we make. We cannot control any possible errors that CIC might make.
I think this question is quite interesting as I understand it as follows:canalberta said:Just curious if I move from one province A to Province B when my file is province A?
If an applicants file has been transferred to the local office and the applicant moves to a different province after that, will the file be transferred to a new local office? Just curious.
