Yes – of course! As a permanent resident of Canada, you can travel outside of Canada for extended periods of time, according to certain rules. If you are issued a Permanent Resident (PR) Visa to Canada, you will need to live in Canada for at least two years during a five-year period in order to maintain/keep your Canadian permanent resident status, but the two years do not have to be continuous. For example, you can travel on business for several weeks or months or take a vacation with your family to visit relatives or friends for several weeks or several months and so forth, as long as you do so according to the rules of your Canadian visa and have been physically present in Canada for the equivalent of at least two years during a five-year period.
