I became PR on Feb 2023 and had to went back to my other country on Aug 2023 ( I was 6 months in Canada) , I plan to return back in Canada by Aug 2026. or later. The monent I return and arrive into the airport, the migration officer checks if I am still able to meet the residency requirement of 2 years in the last 5 to allow me enter? what happens if I enter in December 2026 (assuming this is possible because my PR Card is valid till Feb 2028), can I wait for 6 months more after my PR Card expiration to apply for a new Card so I get the 2 years in the last 5?
Thanks for your comments

Keep track and do the math yourself. Or hire someone.

When you renew your PR card, make sure you have 730 days physically living in Canada (with evidence) preceding the date you sign your application.
