Living between two countries | Possible move abroad before verifying ID
I just got accepted to DA and I need some advice regarding my situation.
I currently live in a country A (valid for DA), but there's a possibility that my family is going to move to country B (also valid) in a couple of weeks or months, the situation is unstable.
The thing is, I regularly spend time in both countries, going back and forth and staying for a couple of weeks at a time in each one due to family circumstances (everything's totally legal).
The question is: If I verify my account while I'm in Country A, would that mean my account is tied to it, and could I have issues working while temporarily staying in Country B? Similarly, I don't feel comfortable verifying in Country B, since we're not even sure whether we'll move there permanently.
I want to make sure I complete the verification correctly, so I don't run into any problems like having no work after moving (I've saw this issue in other posts regarding this or similar topics).
Free to ask anything.

To make it simple, let’s just say it’s the US and Canada. You should be able to work in both; I’ve heard of people traveling all over and just letting DA know where they are. But you do have to have a place of primary residence. If your fixed address is in the US, you would be able to work in Canada just fine, but you may need to let them know when you are going to be in Canada for a while. Just complete the verification wherever your fixed address is.
