You should change the address to the actual shipping location of the product, not your location.
This can make a difference in delivery time to your detriment.
If the parcel is refused, or if the buyer decides to return it, it will come to the Toronto address.
From the point of view of UPS, ask them.
But they are in the delivery business, so the buyer's address is the one of most interest.
Another reason that dropshipping is a Bad Idea.

It would be best to void and correct any incorrect settings (mail from address = see link below). The new address will affect the shipping rates. It may take a short time period for any changes to go live but they will.

Accurate shipping costs are important numbers your buyers needs to see.
As a side note it is important your parcel measurements are extremely accurate. That inputted data will also affect final shipping charges. Approximate will not work and cause the charges to be audited and with an amended bill being sent to you after your buyer has already paid.

Best to have the label print to the correct address.
I recently had to deal with a buyer from the US who uses a PO Box as mailing address. I contacted him about swtiching to UPS from the chosen CP/USPS service because of the strike, which he agreed to. Little I knew that UPS does not deliver to PO Box addresses (neither eBay nor UPS Canada told me anything about it when I purchased the label). It was a fine mess that I had to deal with on my own. But the item finally got to the rightful owner.
