6 Month Limit for Travelling outside of Canada?

Hi there!

I think this has already been discussed but I just want to make sure. I know than as a PR, you have to stay 2 years out of 5 in Canada. But is there a max lenght limit?
My wife and me have been living in Canada since September 2014, and we are PR since march 2017. We are planing to leave the country for a 6-8 months period starting from next February (2018) in order to visit South America.
Could we have any issue re-entering Canada or shouldn't this be an issue as we will still have plenty of time to meet the residency requirement?

We heard many stories about a 6 months limit and we wouldn't want to loose our PR status (still plan to live & work in Canada after our trip!).

Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi Anna,

Thank you very much for your detailed answer! We should be all good then, as we should easily be able to prove that we will continue to live and work in Canada once we are back.
