If you are on a work permit, it is usually issued for 1-2 years at a time. It would be hard to get a work permit extended if you are not living in Canada full time. If you are a permanent resident, you can be gone from Canada total 3 years out of every 5 year period so you can keep your PR if you are gone up to 6 months a year. If you are a citizen, you can come and go as you please.

Adding to what Leon said. On a work premit you are REQUIRED to stay in Canada during the length of the work permit. If you are a PR then you can be out of Canada for up to three years at a time. BUT every time you leave for 6 months and come back for 6 months and then leave for 6 months, and come back for 6months, you MAY be at risk of having you PR status revoked because you are NOT living in Canada as a full time resident. You also cannot count time outside of Canada towards your citizenship.
