Immigration Canada knows that you are using Canada as a base and you might be employed elsewhere profitably.
Now , does your family stay here continuously and have they completed 1095 days here in the past four years?
Can they apply for Citizenship and get their citizenship for themselves?
Are you in a position to do that in the next year? (2009) Do you have all of the materials handy to apply on behalf of them?
Does your spouse work here? Does she or also you pay taxes here in Canada? Which you ought to.
Have you filed the tax returns and paid the taxes? Do you have the NOA's.
Do you have intentions of becoming a Canadian? Or are you going to stay for good outside Canada?
You don't have to answer these to us. Please bear in mind all these are the factors that you have to answer to yourself, truthfully, before you will be able to get your PR renewed when the time is up. (2010)
Here is an excerpt from their web pages. It is here under.
_______________________
If you were outside Canada for 1095 days or more in the past five years
If applicable:
* proof of your relationship to the Canadian citizen you accompanied abroad and proof of his or her citizenship;
* proof of your full-time employment to a Canadian business abroad;
* a copy of your Returning Resident Permit (IMM 1228).
If you were accompanying a permanent resident of Canada working for a Canadian business abroad:
* proof of your relationship to this person;
* proof of his or her full-time employment;
* proof of his or her permanent resident status.

Just as an FYI, I know of a few people who got their PRs in 2003 and were out of the country and did not complete their residency requirements but before their PR card expired came back and are now staying the requisite amount of time here to complete the time requirement and then apply for their renewal
In the meantime, their spouses have had their PR card renewed and in some instances have got the citizenship as well
Also people who worked outside Canada after landing here ensured that they came back here to work quite before the expiry date and even if PR was expired they kept on living and working here and when residency was accomplished, renewed their card.
If your spouse has been here, your spouse should apply for canadian citizenship if requirements have been met.
Once your spouse is Canadian, then there are several ways w/in the framework of law to get yourself a Canadian citizenship as well.

Hi Mr Freddi,
Thanks for the frank and fare response.
Well, it has happened now. We need to try the best forward.
Yes, I have all the intention to be a canadian. Am just wondering .... would it be easy for me to get my PR renewed OR I just go back and apply again once my wife gets the citizenship and then I come. Till then I can visit them on visitor's visa
?

Dear Fido,
No, i was not asked much while entering
Further, I am here now for the good
I may be able to complete 2 years before the time for my PR card lapses.... considering the time I have spent here in the past................... my dilemma is what would happen in case i travel out again.
You answered it very well. Thanks.
The law is clear and supports those who are clear in their plan.
We must respect the law and the rules
Tell me here please, does one need to declare where was one livivng and what was one doing when the person was not in canada?
reg,
Akhil
