Canadian immigration law stipulates that every Canadian permanent resident must meet the requirement of living in Canada for at least two years in any five years. "Living" does not require a place, and the time can be continuous or discontinuous, as long as it is accumulated for 730 days.

If you cannot live for 730 days, the time spent overseas will be counted as follows:

1. Accompany the spouse or cohabiting partner who is already a Canadian citizen to leave Canada;

In addition, he is employed by Canadian enterprises or public service agencies to engage in reasonable business and full-time work. A Canadian enterprise refers to a company established under the laws of Canada or a Canadian province and operating continuously in Canada; Or an enterprise that continues to operate in Canada, has the ability to generate income and realize expected profits, and most of its voting rights or all its rights and interests are held by Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada or the above-mentioned Canadian enterprises; Or an organization or enterprise created by the laws of a province in Canada.

3. If the Immigration Bureau determines that you do not meet the residence conditions of 730 days in the above five years, the Immigration Bureau will not only reject your application for travel documents, but also further cancel your immigration status. Of course, immigration officials will consider the following reasons before revoking their immigration status:

Whether or not to approve it is entirely up to the immigration officer to decide according to the specific circumstances. If the identity is cancelled, the above can be put forward within 60 days, but the above method will consume a lot of time and money.
