You shouldn't post your full names here. If immigration is reading this, you bet they are posting a flag on his file right now.

Truth to be told, the limit he can be outside Canada as a PR in his first 5 years or any rolling 5 year period after that is 3 years. If he left on April 24th 2011 and will be back before April 24th 2014, he has nothing to worry about. When he is asked upon entering Canada how long he was gone, he will say less than 3 years. They may ask him why he was gone so long and if he realizes that he has used up all his time allowed outside Canada. He should say yes, he realizes that and is back to stay for good now.

In order to keep his PR, he then has to stay in Canada until he has his 730 days in past 5 years and then he can apply to renew his PR card. In order to continue to meet the RO for the rolling 5 year period, because he will have been gone for almost 3 years, he needs to fulfill 2 years straight to make it up. He should therefore not leave Canada until April 2016 at the earliest.

You can do nothing to help him keep his PR status. He just needs to make sure himself that he continues to meet the RO.
