There is no formal list of materials prescribed for this purpose. The
documents that normally accompany day-to-day life can be used for this
purpose, however. It would be advisable to keep records of common
utility bills (phone, electricity, etc.), copies of lease documents or
of deed documents in the case that you own your home, credit card
statements, etc.
Essentially, you wish to maintain as many documents as possible which
attest to your residence in Canada for the relevant duration.
If you intend to be absent from Canada for a significant period of time,
and hope to claim that absence towards a citizenship application, then
you will need to maintain documentation that attests to the nature of
the absence (i.e., employment for a Canadian company overseas). It is
important to note, however, that the final determination as to the
validity of such documents is up to the discretion of an immigration
official or the judge presiding over your citizenship case.
