When his children were in Canada he was a tax resident. His wife and children were living in Canada and using services so paying taxes comes with that.
Does the time spent in USA working for United Nations count toward permanent resident status?

Keep in mind that's the result of an appeal and the use of working for the UN as grounds for H&C relief from the obligation. Whether you are reported on entry is a completely different matter. The odds of being reported are uncalculable as there are too many variables involved. My personal belief is if you are a PR (and you still are at this point) you have nothing to loose by trying to re-enter. Deal with the decision to appeal or not if and when it presents itself.
His family living in Canada makes him a Canadian tax resident so he is required to pay Canadian taxes. If your family is living in Canada and benefitting from the services then you are required to pay taxes. That isn’t a crazy concept. You keep saying sent money. He could have sent money to his family but also was required to pay taxes as a tax resident of Canada if he had PR and a family living in Canada. Hard to know if you are referring to your friend or the appeal case.
I was talking about appeal case, i'm not talking about tax money, im saying money his family spent in economy. Money coming into the country is always a good thing. He was working abroad and sent money to his family in CA presumably.
If you read the appeal case in detail, you'll see that his family (spouse and young children) were actually in Cameroon and not in Canada. His adult children were in Canada.
Anyway, ulitmately we can't tell you what will happen to your friend when he crosses the border. All we can tell you is that time spent working for the UN outside of Canada won't be counted towards the PR residency requirement by IRCC.
Good luck.
