Hello,
This is an odd situation but just want to see if anyone knows for sure.
I went thru the Canadian Immigration machine for spousal sponsorship and landed as a PR in June. Of course, as our luck goes, I got a great job offer down in Florida and we have decided to move there. My question is since my husband who is a Canadian citizen will be there with me, does that count towards the residency requirement so I can keep my status? I read on the CIC site that if I'm with my Canadian spouse outside of Canada that it counts towards residency requirements. I'm just curious if this holds true if we are living in the states for a couple years. I am hoping so as we are not sure where we will finally end up and god knows I don't want to go thru this process again.
here is the link I found on their site.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
