Answer 1

Sites below explain how much time you must spend in Canada to maintain your permanent residency status.

Answer 2

"To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.

This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period. However, if you leave the country for an extended period of time, it is up to YOU to prove to Citizenship and Immigration Canada that you plan to continue to live in Canada."
