Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

It is unclear if you are a permanent resident. If you are a permanent resident, you can find some detailed information regarding your residency requirements in our Settlement.Org What are the residency requirements for permanent residents (PRs)? article.

Here is an excerpt,

As a permanent resident, you may travel outside Canada after you arrive. However, you must meet certain residency obligations to maintain your status as a permanent resident.

To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.

This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period. However, if you leave the country for an extended period of time, it is up to you to prove to Citizenship and Immigration Canada that you will be able to meet your residency requirements.


For any other circumstances you will need to contact the nearest Canadian Visa Office directly.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
