    PR Residency Obligation Question - Short Trip outside of Canada Before Completing 730 Days

    As long as you are on track to meet the 730 days within 5 year you are fine. You have understood the RO requirement for the first 5 years correctly. The bigger issue is that birth and newborns are unpredictable so you may end up staying out of Canada for a much longer period of time.
