Initial misunderstandings, emails round trips with the community… standard communication process!
I do not know how others a seeing it, but reading about the process you use, I do not see anything like a wild bulk import. At least, it is very similar to the process I used when importing Canvec datasets.

Our final verification will be on the OSM server (on-line) to avoid or detect any issues. Our aim is having high quality address information in OSM for sake of community. we were very prudent from the first step to have a high quality source of information. I hope that the community will accept our contribution and enjoy to use the data.

To me a couple of issues first are that the Stats Canada data was designed for Stats Canada use, probably for the labour force survey and as such provided the interviewer can see the address from where it is marked on the map this is sufficent accuracy. My concern would be about the accuracy of the data. Another issue is do we end up with duplicate addresses? My concern would be do we end up with the same address in two different locations? I think a better solution would be to take a copy of the OSM database, strip out the existing address data and drop in the stats data and use the copy for their purposes.
