730 day rule to maintain PR

[gd]

Dear Seniors,

As I understand, a PR holder has to be in Canada for 730 days (not necessarily continuous) within the 5 years of it's validity to be able to renew it for the next 5 years.

What are the consequences if the principal applicant of a family cannot fulfil this requirement?
i.e. Principal applicant works outside Canada

If other family members fulfil this requirement, are they eligible to renew their PR?

Is there any way for the principal applicant (who caanot complete 730 days) to renew his PR status?

Appreciate your views on this.

Once the landing is done the principal applicant and other members are responsible to maintain the 730 days within the 5 years.
Who ever fails to fullfil the requirement of 730 days looses the PR status.

All members must follow the rules to spend [730 days] out of 5 years to maintain their PR status.

Hi!

When to start counting 730 days? from the day of landing or when PR card arrives?

Thanks!
