To keep your PR Status you have to stay more than 720 days (2 years) out of 5 years in Canada! If you did stay longer than 2 years so far (or 720days) then it will be fine if you stay outside for 6 months.

But, be aware, you mentioned your PR will expire June 2013. You need to apply a good 5-6 months in advance for a new PR Card (to make sure you have enough time to process without loosing status, or the right to re-enter Canada). Also, watch out if you stay outside Canada, and suddenly the Immigration Office wants something from you, you might have to come spontaneously back to Canada for the Immigration Test. (last minute Flight tickets can be expensive ...)

hope it helps....
