My wife arrived in Canada in NOV 2014, thereby receiving her PR card. I may now have a job opportunity to work in Europe. I've checked & know that she can get a visa for the destination country based on our marital status & my potential job contract. The contract would be 3 years renewable. The question I have: At one point would my wife lose her Canadian residency status after being out of the country? I thought I heard something about maintaining either 2 or 3 years of every 5 in Canada to keep the residency 'active', does anyone know what the actual law is on this? Thanks!
