Should I change my address details?

[joe9kah]

Hi All,

I am applying to PR and one of the forms that I had to fill online asks to mention "Address History". Problem is that - I have been living at my new address and haven't updated it anywhere (i.e. my banks , my employer etc all have my old address details).

Now, that I have to submit my pay slips (biweekly) - all of it bears my old address, what should I do? Should I update my new address with the employer and attach the new ones along with the old ones?

Please let me know.

You should change your address in bank and work documents

Use common sense here, use the address that you officially have on your documents that you are providing. The address in which you receive all the communications. Phone bills, cheques, etc. Why puzzle the officer? Also from today on change your address to your current address that you are living at, Bank, Work, Driving License, etc. change all of them if possible. This goes along with security and background check stage on your PR application. They just want to see you are not some sketchy person, living at one address and declaring another.

Best of luck,

Not including your actual address could be a misrepresentation issue, I wouldn't recommend it.

And you'll need to update your address for CIC if you want to recieve your COPR in your current address

Just update your address in some documents and use it for your application

On one side you are telling me to change current address at all the institutions (which I did yesterday, I updated my address with employer, banks etc). On the other hand you are saying, to not puzzle of officer and give address that I have on my documents (documents have old address).

So, this means - if officer tries to confirm my address from any institution in next 6 months, it will be a fail because I ll have a new address declared everywhere.

Yes, I have updated my address everywhere yesterday but the problem now is that - All my documents i.e payslips etc bear my old address. This is where I see a problem.

Payslips aren't required, and your tax documents should be updated. In any case, your old address will be listed on your forms. Not a big deal. However, it was a good thing to update your address.

You can ask your bank to issue a letter with your current address if you want to have some documents with your new address

I don't remember being asked for proof of address, but you can use the bank letter or your driver license (if updated)

If you have a rental agreement you can use it as proof of address if needed.
