FROM CIC WEBSITE (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomer/res-oblig.html)
Permanent residence status gives a non-Canadian the right to live in Canada. You must meet certain residency obligations to maintain your status as a permanent resident.
Permanent Residency Obligations
Here is what you must do to comply with your residency obligations.
You must accumulate two years of physical presence in Canada in every five-year period. You can also count Canadian residency days if you are outside Canada for an extended period of time for one of the following reasons:
* You are accompanying your Canadian-citizen spouse or common-law partner.
* You are a child accompanying a Canadian-citizen parent.
* You are employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business, the Public Service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province.
* You are accompanying your permanent resident spouse or common-law partner who is also outside Canada and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business, the Public Service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province.
* You are a child accompanying a permanent resident parent who is outside Canada and employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business, the Public Service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province.
Please note that you are complying with your residency obligations only if:
* your accompanying permanent-resident spouse, common-law partner or parent is complying with their residency obligations; and
* you ordinarily reside with your accompanying Canadian-citizen or permanent-resident spouse, common-law partner or parent.
A child is someone under the age of 22 who has never been married or in a common-law relationship.
