Dear Sir,
I am currently a PR of Canada I have received the PR Status on January 2017.

My child was born in Canada in July 2018 so the child is a citizen by birth.

As my mother is currently not doing well back in her home country and there is no one to look after her I travel back and forth to Canada and my child travels with me as well. As per CIC Website in order to maintain PR I would have to stay in Canada for 2 years out of 5 years period.
My question is as my child is a Canadian citizen who stays with me outside Canada, are my days outside Canada considered with in that 2 years in order to maintain the PR.


Thanks

1. No, days accompanying a CC child are not counted for meeting your Residency Obligations.
