Please help me with my situation.
I became pr and got my pr card in 2009. I stay in canada until 2011 and started going back to my country a lot ( more than 2 years). Anyway, i came back to canada in dec 2013 and applied to renew my pr card.
Its approved and i picked up my new card today which is may 05, 2014. However, my cic officer told me that from now on, i only have 143 days outside Canada in 5 years. If i stay out of Canada more than that, i will lose my pr status.
My plan for the next 5 years is to spend 6 months in Canada and another 6 months in my country ( due to family matter). But as he told me, now i can only have a month during 1 year.
Please help me explain my situation and is there any other way I still maintain my pr card?
