The CIC website Residency Obligations for Permanent Residents section states that Permanent residents comply with residency obligations if they accumulate two years of physical presence in Canada in every five-year period. If they are outside Canada for extended periods of time, they can accumulate residency days if they are:
*accompanying a Canadian spouse or common-law partner, or are a child accompanying a parent;
*employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or the Public Service of Canada; or
*the accompanying spouse, common-law partner or child of a permanent resident who is outside Canada and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or the Public Service of Canada.
Other than exceptional circumstances, a citizenship applicant must have accumulated three years(1095 days) of physical presence in Canada in the four years preceding the date of application. In other words, an applicant can be absent from Canada for up to one year, within the four year period. These are the residency requirements for applying for Citizenship.
The purpose of the residence requirement for Citizenship is to ensure that an applicant for citizenship can become familiar with Canada and become integrated into Canadian society.

The exception is if you are aboard and accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse. Each day under this exception is counted as a day of physical presence in Canada.
