Here is my situation:
I am a PR of Canada and have been living here since June 2014, almost 4 years already which makes my first 5 year rolling period to remain me as a PR. Since, I have stayed for 4 years already, I can stay outside Canada for a year, right? Because I have accumulated more than 2 years of required stay here in Canada.
But now, my concern is, my PR card say it will expire on June 2019. So I will renew it on January 2019. Which, for example will make my PR card expiry on January 2024. Now, I am planning to take a 3 years course in the Philippines wherein I am going back and forth in Canada every christmas break until 2022. After I graduate in 2022, I will then stay to canada for good to complete the 2 years requirement to maintain the status. IS THAT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO? Basically, I will be inside Canada for 2 years and 3 months, more than enough of the 2 years required stay. IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT? OR AFTER I GET MY RENEWED PR CARD I HAVE TO STAY FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS IN CANADA AGAIN BEFORE I CAN LEAVE THE COUNTRY? I HOPE I DONT CONFUSE YOU ALL.
