No Problem. You can stay out of the country for 364 days. You should return within 365 days back to the country or else you should apply for Re Entry Permit.

The disadvantage of staying beyond 6 months(180 days) is at the time of Citizenship. Your 5 year clock will start after you enter into the country.
