Hi super8

Your duplicated post!!

You already posted this topic in Skilled worker pages and I did answer already.

A PR can be absent from Canada for up to 3 years out of the first 5 years after landing. The residency requirement is 730 days in every rolling 5 year period, so after the first 5 years you have to calculate your residency obligation going back over the most recent 5 year period. Basically that means if you are absent for the first 3 years out of the first 5, you can still meet your obligation, but you cannot be absent another 3 years consecutively after that.

As a PR, you will be required to reside in Canada in order to be eligible to sponsor your family. How long it will take depends on where their application will be processed.
