Hi everyone! Could somebody tell me where I can find information regarding the rules or norms to keep PR status if I have to go in and out of Canada?? This is of extreme importance for me since I can't stay permanently in Canada and I'm forced to leave and come back every now and then due to family affairs.

Thank you very much in advance!!

Thank you very much for your info! I do have further questions regarding this subject:

1. Must I live the obligatory 730 days in Canada IN A ROW? Or can they be added or accounted for?
2. If I've been living in Canada for, say 100 days, and have to leave the country and come back, is my day-count reset or can they be acknowledged?

Thank you very much.

730 days total within the applicable 5 year period
They don't have to be in a row
