If you are referring to the Confirmation of Permanent Residence and haven't landed yet, That typically expires at the expiry of your medical exam (one year after the exam). The CoPR should have a "Valid to [date]" right on it.
If you have already landed and are granted permanent resident status, then you just need to follow these conditions, most notably the residence requirement. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp
