This may seem a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyway...

Why did you apply for PR when you knew that you would not be in a position to keep it?
As it is, from your original post, that might not be a problem you need to worry about .

The residence obligation is to have 730 days of physical presence in every 5 year rolling period...yes you can indirectly 'hold' it when absent from Canada by:

1. Joining the military
2. Working for the public service i.e embassy
3. Being assigned in a bona fide job abroad by a Canadian company (employed in Canada first the assigned)
4. Accompanying a Canadian Citizen spouse
