I am writing with a question concerning Canadian citizenship.

Are there any exceptions to the rule that a person with a Canadian Green Card must live in Canada for a period of three years to become a citizen of Canada?
   
The reason I am asking about this is I received her Canadian Green card in  March 2004.  I has been married to a Canadian citizen since December 2003.  My husband has been and is still working in the United States.
   
Is it possible that the years I live in the United States with my husband and our children could count toward the three-year requirement, or must I be physically present in Canada for three years to receive Canadian citizenship?
   
Thank you for your help.
