730/5yrs rule Leave Canada right after PR and come back after 3 yrs?

Can I leave Canada right after I get the PR and come back after 3 yrs and live here permanently? I am not considering naturalization at this moment. Is it good enough to fulfill the residency obligation? Thanks!

Possible but a very bad idea since you must then remain in Canada for two years straight and avoid any travel out of the country.

Yeah probably not exact 3 years. Maybe I'll be outside of Canada during the first 2.5 yrs and come back on time and even give it some room of mitigation. Not traveling outside is okay for me cuz I usually spend several weeks in Asia each year and that's literally nothing.
