If landed for less than 5 years, you must demonstrate that you can accumulate 730 days in Canada within the 5 years from the day you landed.
In my view, your daughter's situation is very much depends on her age, as well as your status.
1, if she is a small child, then she is your dependent and can not make decision of her own of where to stay, her status depends on her parent's.
so if your PR status maintain, in my view so do your small child.
2. if she stays in China for extended period and you stay in Canada long enough to apply for citizenship, you can include her in your application as long as she is eligible to apply as minors(below 18 years old), a minor do not need to fullfil 3 years out of 4 years residence requirement for citizenship application.
if for whatever reasons you need to sponsor your child, make sure do it before your child reach 22 years old or get married.
