Hi I got a PR card back in 2018 in Manitoba on pmp basis and left Canada right away.(only lived 2 month) Now I want to renew my PR, Is it possible I come to Canada and apply PR than go back after apply, once I get PR by post someone send me?
I didn’t file my taxes.
Any idea how much time does it take to get PR Renewal?
Should I hire consultant?
Please guide me. Thanks

You should know that in order to maintain your residency, you have to live 3 years out of 5 years in Canada. How will you prove that? Better contact an immigration lawyer.
You are currently in breach of the PR Residency Obligation, clearly having been outside Canada more than 1095 days since the day you landed. So you do not meet the eligibility requirements to be issued a new PR card (sometimes referred to as a renewed PR card) unless there are H&C reasons sufficient to give you relief from the breach and allow you to retain PR status.
Given the length of your absence from Canada there is a substantial risk you will be examined at the Port-of-Entry upon your arrival here, resulting in an Inadmissibility Report being prepared, and in turn issued a Removal Order, again unless you get relief for H&C reasons. That would be a decision terminating your PR status but there is a right of appeal, so it is not immediately enforceable. That means you could still enter Canada and make an appeal.
Reminder: there is no renewal of PR status. Even if you got a new PR card, you still need to comply with the PR Residency Obligation. A new PR card does not restart the Residency Obligation clock.
@jk2ca10 has the gist of it, but not the right numbers; it is a 2/5 obligation not 3/5. In particular, a PR needs to spend at least 730 days in Canada during the first five years after landing, and then, after the fifth year anniversary of landing, always spend at least 730 days within five years, any and every five year period. Thus, for example, if you did get a PR card but left Canada, unless you stay for two years the next time you return to Canada you would still face the risk border officials would prepare an Inadmissibility Report and issue a Removal Order. Again, a new PR card does NOT restart the clock.
Whether an authorized representative, either a consultant or lawyer, could make the difference in how this goes, is difficult to forecast. Probably depends a lot on whether you have a strong H&C case. (Disclaimer: I have a strong bias against consultants, and tend to think one is more likely to get more for their money from a reputable immigration lawyer . . . not often anyone gets all that they pay for, dealing with lawyers, but many times they're the best bet . . . but they cannot change the facts or the law.)
How things go could also depend a lot on just when in 2018 you landed, and how soon you come to Canada. Basically the less you have breached the RO, the better your chances you are allowed into Canada without being issued a Removal Order. So the sooner you get here, the better your chances. But even if you are not issued a Removal Order at the PoE, you still do not meet the eligibility requirements for a PR card and would be relying on H&C relief. Even if you get H&C relief, if you do not plan to stay in Canada, to settle and live here more or less permanently, that's not likely to save your PR status going forward.

Hi,
I just checked my application that I sent to CIC and noticed there were no barcodes on it. I believe the validate button only checks if you have left any fields blank on the application. If there are no errors shown during the validate stage, then an option to print the document shows up on the top, ensure that you print the document by which it becomes a new , non-editable document. Hope this helps if its not too late !
