jane,

as a PR you need to be in Canada for 2 years every 5 (rolling) years. There are only 3 exceptions where time spent outside Canada is counted as in Canada. See:

If you do not meet residency obligations, you will lose your PR status.
Choice is yours.

Refer to Gabgil's post above for details.
