So I became a permanent resident in August 2015 but unfortunately haven't been able to fully move to Canada yet and have generally just been making very short trips due to circumstances beyond my control. I do plan to fully move to Canda in the summer of this year. Could someone please give me their opinion of when latest (when exactly) I should move back to Canada this year to avoid losing my permanent resident status? My PR status expires sometime in 2020 and I don't want to risk being considered having already spent three years out of the country.

Requirement is to be physically present in Canada for 2 years or 730 days in every 5-year period. Can't say exactly when you need to move. You will have to find out how many days you were in Canada cumulatively during your short trips as a PR.
