I want to sponsor my parents for PR in Jan 2019. I am currently living in Quebec. I am a new immigrant. (I would have sufficient income for 2018 to be eligible as per Quebec financial requirements.)

I have question about "Proof of address in Quebec".

I do NOT have electricity or cable bill (or rental agreement). I am living with a friend/acquaintance and I am not on lease. However, I do have Quebec Driving License and I am working for an employer in Quebec (paystubs mention Quebec address and deduct Quebec tax). I will also have Notice of assessment from Quebec.

Would these be enough for proof of address, or could I face problem because of not having electricity/cable bill?
 
Quebec application (https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/fr/parrainage/Immigration-Quebec_A1520BF.pdf) ask
to "Enclose one of the following documents":

- Bill or statement of account from an electricity company
- Bill or statement of account from a cable company
- Last pay stub
- Notice of assessment from the Agence du revenu du Québec
- Driver’s licence

I would have 3 out of 5 documents (Pay Stub, NOA, Driver’s license). I am hoping it should be fine to not have electricity/cable bill. But want to confirm from experienced people's if anyone faced any issue. Also, if anyone faced any other issue specific to Quebec please let me know.
 
So the form says "enclose one of the following documents" and you have three. What's the concern?
That I don't have electricity/cable bill. I guess I am over-thinking.

Also I travel a lot for work and personal reasons, and spend a lot of time outside of Quebec (mostly Ontario). Could that create any problem?
or would I still be considered Quebec resident for immigration purposes, since I file Quebec taxes and have Quebec address on my paperwork (DL, NOA)?
