PR Card Renew when working abroad

[Alibibi]

My family and I received our PR cards this year. However, only my wife and kids are currently living in Canada, while I am still working in a third country. Since I have a residence tie to Canada (my family staying there, house, bank account, driving license), I have been filling and paying taxes, even though I typically lived in Canada about two months per year when visiting my family. I plan to stay in Canada permanently after 2030, but for now, I need to continue working abroad to support my family and send most of my income to Canada.
My question is: after my PR card expires, how can i renew my PR card? Can I re-enter Canada and stay for two consecutive years to meet residency obligation? Would this case cause any issues with CBSA or IRCC?

Nobody knows how the IRCC or CBSA will deal with your non-compliance. In my view, it is unlikely you can renew or maintain your PR. Either way, your wife can sponsor you when you are ready to move here permanently.

You must be in Canada to apply for a renewed PR Card.

Since your current PR may be valid for 5 years from the day that you became a PR, you will be out of compliance on the third anniversary of your landing day (+1 day). Returning to Canada at any time after that day (even with a valid PR card) could pose a problem with CBSA.

Ideally, you should return to Canada before the 3 years have passed; stay in Canada as long as possible (at least 2 years would be good), then apply for a renewed card.

If you don't meet RO, then you cannot renew your PR card which is only possible if you are inside Canada. (Or apply for PRTD from outside)
Working aboard is not a H&C reason to get PRTD. Paying taxes doesn't change the fact that you won't meet RO.
So your best plan is to ask your spouse to sponsor you again when you are ready to move back.
You may have problem returning after your PR card expires. If you didn't get reported in one of your trips, you may want to give up your PR and apply for TRV (which may or may not be approved) or eTA.
Until you are ready to move back, you will be visiting as a visitor. (you can still pay tax as non-resident)
