retaining PR status

[Prneed]

Hello

I got close to landing but currently working in US. My employee is not willing to relocate me and I will not be able to give up this new role which is very lucarative. Could you please advise what should I do to retain my PR status

How long should I stay in Cananda after initial landing to renew my PR card after 5 years

You must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years to be able to keep your PR status.

Keeping your permanent resident status

Your permanent resident status allows you to live in Canada, but there is also a time limit on how long you can live outside the country. To keep your status as a permanent resident, you must live in Canada for at least two years within a five-year period.

Hello-

The 5 year cycle to retain our Canadian PR status kick started on January 1, 2012. Though we (me and my wife) got our PR cards, but we haven’t started physically staying in Canada yet. We are still working in US on an H1B visa for our respective US employers.

My wife works for a reputed IT company who has offices all across the globe. Though it’s primarily a US corporation, but they do have a fully owned subsidiary registered in Canada. If my wife is employed by the Canadian subsidiary company (i.e. salaried employee through a Canadian firm) and is further deputed to work in US on a full time project, then does the time spent in US will count towards the required minimum two years of stay in Canada? Please advise!
