In every countries, there are similar regulations regarding physical present in the country. Check with your attorney, how long you can leave Canada without jeopardizing your status. In US, it's recommended not to leave the country longer than 6 months, or your status would be revoked.

The best bet would be wait until you become Canadian citizen, then there would be no restrictions.
