To maintain your PR status, you must live in Canada two out of every five rolling years. For citizenship you must live in Canada 3 out of 4 years.

Soben,
Yes, as canada1234 said, it's perfectly fine.

The following text is taken from CIC website:
Keeping your permanent resident status
Your permanent resident status allows you to live in Canada, but there is also a time limit on how long you can live outside the country. To keep your status as a permanent resident, you must live in Canada for at least two years within a five-year period.
