Re: BC driving licence
Your address is put on your license, so whatever you give is what goes on there. You have 90 days on a UK license, wait until you have a more permanent address. The alternative is pay for a change of address on your license when you move.

Re: BC driving licence
Note that you can only get a BC driver's license if you are resident in BC. I.e. you have moved to BC and will live here for at least 6 months.
When you land you become a permanent resident of Canada. This may coincide with you becoming a resident of BC. However for many people, who "land" and return to the UK to sort out their affairs, it doesn't.
