Nothing on the web site defines "departure from Canada", so I'll have to do a little digging.
The form asks for an estimated date of return, but there's nothing to imply that it has to be a date in the near future, or that you'll be held to it. And plans change, right? If you said that you might return in 2009, and then found a good reason to change your mind between now and then, who could argue with that? Of course you're still stuck with that gone-more-than-5-years thing, as am I.
