CIC will generally only allow you to count your time outside of Canada towards the residency obligation if you were first hired for a role within Canada and then at a later date transferred to a role outside of Canada. If you are hired directly to the role outside of Canada, CIC will typically classify this as time outside of Canada that cannot be counted towards RO.

If you are being hired directly for the role outside of Canada, understand this carries the risk that five years from now CIC will say you don't meet the residency requirement for keeping PR.
