There is no six month rule. Yes - you can stay outside of Canada for a whole year. Don't listen to your friend.

There was a 6 month limitation about 20 years ago under the previous legislation but that's long gone.

Hi

1, Except under the pre 2002 Act, Immigration had to prove "intent to abandon Canada" after 6 months outside Canada. Almost impossible to prove, so very very few PRs lost their status.
