I had a BTC balance with Poloniex prior to the fork and I now have BCH too.
I wish to withdraw the BCH from Poloniex however am unsure of where it can be withdrawn to. Previously I have created BTC paper wallets using bitaddress.org. Can I create a paper wallet for BCH too?
I have a blockchain.info wallet however would like to maintain my private keys.

Bitcoin and BCH share the same private key and address system, so bitaddress.org should work fine (provided you ensure it's the legit version, and use it on a secure computer).
You can also use a wallet client like Electron Cash.
Ensure that you do not send the BCH to a segwit address (starting with bc1) or a P2SH-P2WPKH segwit address (starting with 3).
Multisig addresses starting with 3 will work fine, but ensure that it is a multisig address before sending it.
OK & thanks. Does this mean that if I have an old BTC paper wallet I can send my BCH to that same address? – Dercni – 2018-05-23T03:15:01.797
Yes, you could. To redeem it, you would just need to import that private key into a BCH wallet like Electron Cash, instead of a BTC one like Electrum cash. – Raghav Sood – 2018-05-23T03:34:36.927
Just to be 100% sure... :) I can withdraw BCH to a BTC address and store it there? – Dercni – 2018-05-23T03:36:59.827
As long as the BTC address is not segwit, yes – Raghav Sood – 2018-05-23T03:57:53.907
