Accompanying a Canadian Citizen while traveling abroad

[CPOM]

Hello,

We just got a baby born in Canada. Us, his parents, have a permanent resident status. We are planning to travel to our country of origin during a couple of months.

I just wanted to ask if the time away from Canada accompanying a Canadian Citizen (a baby) will be taking under consideration when calculating the time to apply for citizenship?

Thank you in advance for your answer

No, and it won't preserve your PR status either.

Yeah, you have to be accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse (or parent, if you're a minor).
