I have sent letters from friends and families stating they're going to help me once I land in Toronto to settle down. I also sent search sites of jobs and houses that I want to rent. Also provided a bank statement. I was stumped on what I should send them because I had nooooo idea what they're looking for. Its actually hard to prove because u can't rent prior to going to Canada unless the application is approved. They haven't asked for more proof so I have no idea if that's a good thing or bad thing
I think they want to see things like job contracts and rental agreements and car payments, but like you said that stuff is really hard to produce when you don't know when you'll arrive! We basically sent the same stuff: letters from friends and family about how they'll help us transition (place to stay, car to borrow, etc.) and a statement of good standing from my Canadian bank. I also included a letter from my employer abroad stating that she is aware of my intentions to return to Canada when my husband receives his PR, as well as plane tickets from my last visit to Canada to show a continued connection to the country and people there. And I wrote a letter about my life here and why I want to return to Canada, emphasizing that living abroad was always a temporary thing. I also talked about how we'll live with my parents when we first arrive.
If they ask for more, we bought plane tickets for a few months from now - they're round trip though. If we aren't approved by then, my husband will go as a tourist. We're also hosting an event in Canada towards the end of the year that I can show contracts/receipts for.
Of everything you mentioned, what did you provide after the first time they asked you versus with the original application? I don't know if they'll ask more than once. But it sounds like you submitted everything you can.
