How to prove intention to reside in Ontario for OINP?

I would suggest adding
- Friends and family in Ontario who you can meet and socialize with,
- If you have kids tell better English speaker environment they get in Ontario schools.
- Interesting places you like in Ontario
- Any business e.g. Fintech that thrives in Ontario you / spouse might start
- College or an institute in Ontario with a specific course you / spouse might join...

Hello, I received a notification of interest from OINP through the Human Capital Priorities stream on March 21st, 2024. I am currently on a worker visa and work out of Montreal, Quebec as a data scientist (NOC-21211). Much like the others on this thread, I am trying to figure out a reasonable way to demonstrate my intent to reside in Ontario, which I have strongly been considering given the fundamental complexities of being a non-French speaker in Quebec. I have been considering moving to Ottawa for a while, and am in the process of signing a lease for a move-in date later this year (December 2024).

Here are some ways I am considering demonstrating my intent to reside in Ontario:
1) Employer Letter: As a remote worker, I do not need to reside in Montreal to perform my job (although the company office is in Montreal), so producing an employer letter that states I am permitted to work out of Ottawa.
2) Lease: As mentioned above, I am in the process of signing a lease with a start date (move-in date) of December 2024 for an Ottawa rental apartment.
3) Visits: I can mention that I have made visits to the nation's capital - but how do I provide evidence for this?

Would greatly value the community's advice on whether these are reasonable and honest ways of demonstrating intent to reside in Ontario, since I fully well do intend to relocate to Ottawa - I am just bound by a Montreal apartment lease that doesn't end till November this year.

Were you able to prove your intention with above mentioned points? I am in the same situation.
