PR residency obligation based on Canadian business abroad

[cheerup]

Hi, I became PR of Canada two years ago. I was in U.S for 16 years and currently running a U.S business in U.S. Because I need to be present in U.S for business purposes, I cannot meet Canadian PR obligations. My family is in Canada and meeting their Canadian PR obligations. According to OP 10 R61C, residency obligations can be met while working for a Canadian employer abroad. My questions are:

Does this rule also apply to someone who is running Canadian business abroad.
If i setup Canadian business and contract with my U.S business for profits, is there anything wrong with it.?
Yes, I would use my stay in U.S towards PR residency obligation, but I have no wrong intentions. Would there be any problems.
If I decide to relinquish my PR card because I would not meet residency obligations, would there be any problems for me getting a Canadian visit visa so I could visit my family in Canada?
If I don't visit Canada once I know I can be reported by immigration officer for removal, and once my Canadian citizen wife stays with me in U.S, is it true that after few years living with her togeter I can apply for renewal of my expired PR card.

Please advise. I would appreciate it.

There's nothing wrong with doing this - however the time you spend outside of Canada won't be counted towards your PR status. If it was this easy to get credit for time outside of Canada - everyone would just set up their own businesses like you've suggested. CIC shut this loophole down ages ago.

If you voluntarily give up your PR status you should have no issues getting a visitor visa.
