PR and outside of canada

[khanm777]

If someone has just made their solid 3 years in canada as a PR holder and they want to go and live in some other country for 3 years. If they want to come back after 3 years will they be a problem? Will they lose their PR status?

Why not get Canadian Citizenship and stay out all you want???You qualify after 3 years

I believe the rule is that you have to stay in Canada two out of five years. So, you already stayed 3 and also you qualify for citizenship, however if you can't wait to apply for one or you don't want citizenship, then you can stay another 3 years out of five. But you need to come back and stay rest of the two years in Canada to maintain the PR.
