renew my PR card and later on apply for citizenship

Dear Member

I need your advice please, i applied under EE program and have done my landing last year i.e. 2016 July 14th. I became PR holder on 14th July itself and stayed in Canada until 20th December. So for year 2016 I have accumulated 160 days. Short landing I can say.
My Question is: Now from 21st December 2016 I am outside of Canada working in KSA, and will go forever only in year 2019 1st January. So days absent from Canada will be 740
Number of days physically present per calendar year:
2016 161
2017 0
2018 0
2019 365
2020 366
2021 232

I understand that I will still meet PR residency requirements and will be able to renew my PR card and later on apply for citizenship. When ask at the airport if needed I can explain to the officer that I have 160 days already under my belt and can achieve another 365+365+232 from now on until I need to apply for my renewal.
YEAR 2016 = 160 DAYS
YEAR 2019 = 365 DAYS
YEAR 2020 = 365 DAYS
YEAR 2021 = 232 *** NOTE my PR card expires on 21st Aug-2021

Your advice will be very help full.
Thanks

The PR card expiry date is irrelevant when calculating the residency obligation requirements. If, (because you landed less than 5 years before the date of your intended return,) you spent more than 1095 days outside Canada since the day that you landed, you would be in non-compliance. If, on the other hand, you will have spent less than 1095 days outside Canada since your landing date, you will be OK.
