Subject: Permanent Residency Obligations
  hi all

I have a friend, he landed in Canada last Dec, but he has some business in China needed to be taken care of. now he´s only permanent resident, according to the "Permanent Residency Obligations" posted on the cic.gc.ca site,

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.

Returning Resident Permit
If you became a permanent resident of Canada before June 28, 2002 you may still be the holder of a Returning Resident Permit issued to you under the previous legislation.

Under the transitional provisions, if you are a permanent resident who is in possession of a Returning Resident Permit, you will be able to count time spent outside Canada towards satisfying your residency obligations. The time period covered by the Returning Resident Permit must apply to the period being examined."

now his wife is already canadian citizen, if they go back to china now and live there, will the time they live in china count?

thx
