"Permanent resident" of Canada - it seems to work like "Permanent resident" of Australia
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...verseas-travel - has no permanence like ILR in the UK or ROA in HK. For Australia "permanent resident", if you aren't here for 5 years, you lose it.
Canadian and Australian "permanent resident" indicates no time limit on their stay in Canada/Australia. But, if they're not there (like Lamb's parents), they lose it.
