The current rule is 4 out of 6 years. But there is a bill that will change it to 3 out of 5. It has not passed yet, though it eventually will. As for when the new rule will go into effect, no one knows.

If you have not traveled much outside Canada since you became a PR, you don't need much. Useful documents would be records of your employment history, any rental agreement for an apartment, tax records. If you have a lot of travel outside Canada, then CIC will be more suspicious and you will want to keep records of all your travel
