Suggest you read through some other threads on accompanying citizen abroad given there are differing views on who is accompanying whom. For example if the PR moved abroad for a job then technically the citizen is accompanying the PR not the other way around, it can be a grey area subject to interpretation but still key to keep complete documentation. Expect others will comment as well

ill try and look for different threads for this particular case of mine! thnx alot again
Ok so my question is simple. I was not able to stay in Canada for 730 days and don't want to risk going by lying or breaching anything. Basically i did not meet the requirements for PR renewal.
Shall I file a fresh application? Do i need to revoke my previous PRs? Will my not going there effect my fresh application?

If a PR is not in Canada, then those days do not count towards meeting PR RO. The PR family members in Canada will have their RO, and they should be fine, the fact that one of the family members is not in Canada should not impact the other family members' PR statuses or their abilities to apply for Canadian citizenship. the PR who left for 2 years will not be able to apply for citizenship alongside the family members who have physical presence in Canada, and should watch out for their RO if they plan to remain a PR.
This is NOT necessarily the case. In many situations a PR residing abroad for the tax year can file a non-resident tax return or even not be required to file a return at all. Depends on a number of details. See CRA information for more detailed description of who is a resident for tax purposes and otherwise who must file a tax return as a non-resident.
In general (very generally):
Residence of family in Canada is of course a very significant factor in evaluating tax/residential ties, but it is NOT a definitive factor.
And especially if the PR is a bona fide resident for tax purposes in a country with which Canada has a treaty (which applies to a large number of countries), that usually (not always) means the PR is NOT a resident of Canada for tax purposes.
While who-is-a-Canadian-resident for tax purposes, and who-must-file-a-Canadian-return, are related questions, the respective answers depend on a range of factors, many of which are not definitive. Some are. Canadian sourced income or otherwise having a Canadian tax obligation definitively require the filing of a return . . . but whether that is a resident return or a non-resident return depends on other factors.
And WHO-SHOULD-FILE-A-RETURN is also an important question, even if the PR might otherwise NOT be required to file any return. If, for example, the spouse living in Canada wants to qualify for certain benefits or credits, they may not be available unless the spouse living outside Canada also files a return. But here again, whether the spouse outside Canada needs to file a resident return or a non-resident return depends on additional factors.
Hello All, please suggest, I landed in canada first time in April 2014 and travelled twice later ( one month each) last time being in May 2016. My PR card expires June 2019, and I am planning to travel back to canada in April 2019, will I face any issue at the immigration? travelling with family.
Given seems you have failed the residency obligation by not having spent 2 years in Canada since April 2014 there is a chance that on entry you may be reported leading to your PR status being revoked subject to appeal. As a PR you would still be entitled to enter the country pending your appeal but there is no way to predict whether you will either be reported or an appeal would succeed.
If you are lucky enough to not be reported you will need to stay put for 2 years plus and not in that time attempt to renew your PR card.
Your previous visits would not have been an issue given you would still have been able to meet the RO had you stayed then.
