How should I report a short-term hotel stay in my address history when moving to Canada?​


I moved from Hong Kong to Canada, and when I left my Hong Kong residence, I no longer had an address there. However, my long-term Canadian accommodation (a dorm) was not available yet, as the rooms only opened a few days after I arrived.

During that gap, I stayed at a hotel until my dorm room became available.

For an immigration/PR address history, should I list the hotel as my Canadian address for those few days, and then list my dorm from the date I moved in? Or is a short-term hotel stay not considered an address that needs to be included?
