加拿大移民监要求 Maintain Permanent Resident Status - Canada
大部分加拿大移民是一步到位的永久居民，持永久居民卡（枫叶卡）- Permanent Resident Card (PR Card)，加拿大 PR Card 5年有效，每5年在加拿大累计实际物理居住满2年（730天）就满足 Permanent Resident 的居住义务，可以换发下个 5 年的枫叶卡（PR Card）。
一个移民家庭的每个家庭成员都有自己的枫叶卡，居住义务是针对所有成年家庭成员的，不再分主副申，自己住自己的，满足条件的可以换发，不满足居住条件的可能取消永久居民身份。
陪加拿大公民在境外居住（Accompanying a Canadian citizen outside Canada），被加拿大公司外派到国外工作（Employment outside Canada），陪被外派到国外的永久居民在一起（Accompanying a permanent resident outside Canada）这三种情况都算作在加拿大实际居住，满足累计居住义务的要求。
