Well ive been away from Canada for about 3 years, actually its 3 years in December, i was told that i had to come back.

Is there a way my mom can go to Canada and do some kind of paperwork so i dont need to go back? we dont got enough money for both of us to go there and i really want to keep my resident status, I just turned 18 so i guess its harder cause im not a minor anymore but please answer i really need to get this to work.

Thanks in advance

You must go to Canada and reside there for the next 2 years to maintain your PR status.

ok So there is no way my mother can go and do all the paperwork instead of em going there? cause in Canada my mom is supposed to be responsable for me it, but since im 18 i dont know are u sure my mom cant go isntead of me we cant really afford both plane tickets :S

It's not enough to fill out paperwork to keep your PR status.  You have to actually live in Canada for at least 2 out of every 5 years.  If you can only afford one plane ticket, you have to decide which one of you is going to go.  If your mother goes, is she actually going to stay for 2 years to keep her status?  If she keeps her status, maybe she can sponsor you later so you can get yours back.
