For those who have obtained permanent resident status in Canada, if they want to continue to hold a Maple Leaf Card, they must meet certain residence time requirements. Under normal circumstances, permanent residents must live in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5 years (1825 days). This aims to ensure that permanent residents have a close connection with Canada and effectively integrate into Canadian society. However, there are some exceptions. For example, when a permanent resident accompanies a Canadian citizen spouse abroad, or is employed by a business established in Canada and works abroad, these times will be regarded as time spent in Canada. For example, a permanent resident is arranged by a Canadian company to work in an overseas branch for two years due to work reasons. During these two years, he accompanied his spouse who is a Canadian citizen. In this way, these two years will also be included in the length of his residence in Canada.
