No, its the other way around, you need to be in canada for 2 years out of 5 year period to retain your PR status.

Hope this info helps you.

2years stay in 5 years

If one lands in canada and leaves for his home country and come back after two years, his pr is still valid.To keep its validitywhat shall one do.Earlier one has to stay min 183 day in a year. Is it better than before.

I hope some one reply.

From your Landing date in Canada you can be out of canada for 3 years in any 5 years. you need to be in Canada for 2 years out of 5 years for PR.
this after the new law that became effective 28 June 2002.

183 days or 6 months rule was in the past before new law.
 
Thats right. You just have to be in canada for 2 years for the five year period after you land.

But what about the citizenship?? Do you have to stay 3 years to get citizenship??
