Documents required for PR Renewal - Citizen Spouse

Hi all,

Hope you are well. I need some help / advice with the list of documents that I'd need to submit with my PR renewal application.

My Story : I became a Permanent resident in 2010 (I came to Canada for a few days to collect my PR) and then went back to the UK where I worked / resided with my Canadian citizen wife.

Fast forward that to almost five years, we moved to Canada this past Feburary when I secured a job here.

Now my PR is about to expire in early November.

I filled out and paid for the online renewal form and now my predicament is that the documents I have been asked to submit as a proof of my residence in Canada include 1) Income Tax assessment, or 2) Immigration entry and exit documents (Record of movement) or 3) University transcript etc.

The thing is, since I moved to Canada only in Feb of this year, so I don't have any of these and I never went to University here to begin with.

I spoke to a lawyer and he said I should be sending through my proof of residence with the Canadian spouse from the last five years (tax documents, etc.) from the UK since I resided in the UK for that time.

I am not sure what documents to submit and I don't want to go down the immigration lawyer route as I am on a budget here.

I would really appreciate your help with some direction (ideally if you have been in a similar situation) or if you could point me in the right direction as to what documents to submit, that would be really appreciated.

Many thanks for your help in advance.
