Question about Sask Residency

Hello there, as the title states, I have a few questions regarding the attainment of Saskatchewan residency. This is of importance to me because I am looking to apply to medicine once I finish my four years of premed.

Am I allowed to leave Saskatchewan (or Canada as a whole) for a certain period of time and still be considered eligible for residency (for example, if I want to travel to see my parents during the winter and summer breaks)?

If so, what is the maximum length of time that I can be out of the province/country for without compromising my eligibility? I am asking because the faculty of medicine stated that to be a Saskatchewan resident, I must have **physically resided** in Saskatchewan for three consecutive years. (It states nothing about exceptions for travel, which is why i've made this post)

I would highly appreciate if I could get some help.
