My question is:-
1. How long we get benefit of OHIP health card after leaving country.
2. What is minimum time required for making passport of new baby.
3. Should we leave Canada with 4 months old baby who is Canadian citizen by birth.
4. If we came Canada 2 month before our PR collapse I:e June 2019 as our PR collapse in August-2019, then time that we spent outside Canada with our baby who is Canadian citizen by birth be calculated in our PRO (Permanent Residency Obligations) and we extent our PR card without any trouble.

1. You must be in Canada for at least 153 days out of every year to keep OHIP coverage.
2. Not sure - hopefully someone else will comment.
3. You can if yo wish.
4. No - the time you spend with your Canadian citizen baby outside of Canada will not count towards your residency requirement. To keep your PR status you will need to live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 rolling years. The rule you are thinking of only works if your SPOUSE is a Canadian citizen and is accompanying you outside of Canada. The same benefit doesn't apply to people with Canadian citizen children.
