Don’t think this will work. They tend to look at the duration of your stay in Ca.
But would love to hear from others too - also it’ll be good to seek immigration lawyers pov

You need to be physically present in Canada for 730 days within the previous 5 years. Some time outside Canada can be applied towards that under specific circumstances. Consult an attorney

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
