The airline is wrong. They are mixing up the rules for US green card vs. Canada PR card.

The US green card requires a person to travel to the US at least once a year or they may lose it. A Canada PR card you can keep if you stay in Canada 2/5 years so you can be outside Canada for up to 3 years and still keep it.

You can print out the residency obligations here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445ETOC.asp#appendixA and show that to the airline.

Its better to be on safe side and goto Canadian embassy or consulate and get a letter for flight to Canada,if the embassy doesnot give any letter than try again !
