My husband and I got married in the US and were given an immediate copy of our marriage license/certificate to be able to submit for immigration purposes. As I was preparing to send out the i-130, I noticed there was an error on the marriage license showing the address under my name as the same as my husband's address.

My husband lives in Canada while I live in the US. On the Marriage certificate, it shows that we both live in the same address in Canada.

Mind you that in the i-130 form, it asks if we ever lived together and I wrote "Never lived together" and of course it asks for my current address and previous addresses and none of them were ever outside of the US

Do I hold back on submitting the i-130 until I get the address fixed, or will the USCIS not care for the address written on the marriage certificate?

Not an issue.  You were visiting that address, were you not?  You were not living there.

Our marriage certificate has an address typo. I worried about it but it never was an issue at all during petition or NVC stage. 
You can submit the certificate now and rectify the mistake later if you wish.

Thank you. This reassures me a bit. I was worried this was going to effect the process and make them raise an eyebrow to deny the petition. I just want it to go as smoothly as possible

This is a non-issue.
