hi to all the members of this forum
I landed as immigrant last FEB 2012 and secured all the nessecary documenst like SIN, health card, bank account, and as well PR card... Now since i dont have a job yet, iam planning to go back in my country and settle some personnal issues... My concern is, somebody told me that i have only 6 months maximum outside CANADA, is this true? i need some concrete answer for this matter... thanks in advance for a nice and helpful answer with my problem.
In addition, in my own knwoledge and opinion, i think there is a FIVE YEAR RULE, and to avoid cancelling of permanent residency you should stay in CANADA at least TWO YEARS or 730 days in that FIVE YEAR PERIOD. So, in my case since i was landed last FEB this year and iam planning to have vacation next month (JUNE 2012), so i stayed here for almost 3 mos or approximately 90 days since i was landed... so is this means that i will gonna stay in CANADA for 640 days more to comply with the residency obligations? BTW my permanent card issue date is may 4, 2012 and expired on may 2017.
