What happens to canadian banks if PR Status is lost

[RobertPatterson]

Not sure if anyone would have an answer to this. But my wife is a Permanent Residence of Canada.
She is currently living in Japan due to some unforeseen circumstance If she loses her PR status because she is away to long then what would happen to her bank accounts in Canada? Would she still have access to them? Does she need to maintain her PR status to keep her bank accounts?

Nothing happens to her accounts.

The bank has nothing to do with PR. As per my personal experience, since my PR expired as I did not complete requisite stay period, the bank account I had in Canada, did not get affected. Though it may get dormant if not operated over a period of time, but the money shall continue to belong to account holder.
