Assuming you are asking post ITA:

1. Education proof which inclues eca and highest degree certificate etc
2. Proof of work which includes reference letters from your employers
3 PCC from every country you have stayed for more than 6 months
4. Medicals upfront
5. Travel documents- passport
6. Proof of funds
7. Nomination certificate in case you have pnp
8. Spouse education, work(experience in canada), travel, pcc and medicals. If you arent claiming any points for work and education you can omit those two.

Thats just what i recall from top of my mind. Good luck.
