My PR Card has expired a long time ago and i never bothered to renew it as i didn't need to travel internationally or intend to.

For PR card renewal, specifically for the residency obligation proof part i would need two pieces of evidence to show my presence in Canada.

Since i don't have have a formal lease or bills in my name, below are my options for documentation....

Tax NOA's :
1. Can i use my NOA from taxes for two separate calendar years as one piece of evidence ? Keep in mind since i was unemployed, it is a zero income NOA for multiple years.

For the second piece, i could use a bank statement, but i'm confused on what exactly to get out of the below :
My question is,
1. Would this need to be for only one specific month and that's anough ? or
2. would it need to be multiple months within the same year year ? or
3. One statement for a single month from a particular year and another from a different month from a different year ?

Additionally, Does the statement have to be from a checking account or should i use my credit card statement ?

Alternate options if above two won't work :

1. Does a scanned copy of a valid Drivers license or OHIP card count as evidence of presence ? - i would think not, but has anyone been successful using either of those ?
2. Record from OHIP of medical appointments ?
3. Interac E-transfer records of my portion of rent paid to roommate/landlord ? (keep in mind i can only access e-transfer history back to a certain point)
4, Anything other's have used that i am missing ?

Looking for advice on what i should use as the best two pieces of proof of residency/stay in Canada, to ensure my PR Card gets renewed without any issues and as quickly as possible.
 
My understanding is that each NOA can count as one piece of evidence.

If you wish, you could submit one of any of the other types of evidence you suggest, really. Don't try to overdo it: it simply states pieces of evidence. Most common perhaps after NOAs is record of lease/ownership or utilities paid.
