You don’t qualify for PR renewal. If you have spent 5 years doing one month on and one month off you should qualify. Did you also only move to Canada years after doing a soft landing?

If you fall short of the 730 day requirement within the 5 years then the key would be to make entry into Canada few months (6 months or so) before PR expiry and not leave
Complete the 2 years and go over by about a month more and then apply for renewal there should be no issues in renewing even though you stayed 2 years within 6 years or so.
