Is it okay to put 'Don't remember' in the 'number and street' section of 12.Adresses of IMM5669 as the applicant has lived in several addresses since reaching 18, and he can no longer remember the exact number and street name of one of the addresses he has lived at?

Try your best to find the address and phone number - ask friends and family, someone might remember. If you can't find them, just write a brief explanation and as many details as you do remember.
For what would be considered 'strange' addresses, just write a description of where you lived. The examples given in the posts above would be acceptable. For the address section, CIC wants to know where you actually lived, so if the mailing address was a PO box, include an explanation and the address/description of your residential address. I would put both the Spanish (or whatever language) and the English translation.
In my application, I had to attach a separate sheet of paper with an explanation of 1. that I didn't know the phone number and street address of a couple of places I lived, and 2. a description of where I lived when that place had no real street address. For example: "From February 2, 2004, until January 31, 2005, I lived on the campus of the .... University in Mianyang, Sichuan, China. There was no address. My apartment was in one of the two apartment buildings reserved for senior staff and foreign teachers at the top of the hill on campus. My apartment was the one on the left on the ground floor of the first building up the hill."
OK, so if they really want to check this, they could find it.

I think alomost everyone has this issue since that is a lot of addresses to remember, especially through the young adult years. What we did is used google maps, we would write the intersection that he lived at then do the street view and he would recognize the building and we would zoom in for the street number, this helped us alot and solved most of the addresses we were not sure about. I certainly would not put dont remember though, do your best as Canadianwomen has said and good luck !

Great idea!
Old passports contact info section and old letters can also be very helpful
That being said, try your best and if you can't remember any info for an address many years ago (e.g., as a child) explain it and move on. Good luck!
