Right now, there is no way to do this.
Soon, if a new law is passed, you will be able to extend your stay to 8 months, but still require home in Canada. OR if you own $500K of US real estate you can stay for 3 years.
You would lose your Cdn medical coverage however ifn either case.
There is a reason Cdns only stay 6 months out of canada, and immigration rules are only a amll part of it.
