Hi,
My i got my PR for self and family in Jan 2016, I moved to Canada in 2018 but my family stayed back as my wife had some commitments back then. They intend to move to Canada in late 2020.
Since my PR card expires in Jan 2021 and i become eligible for Citizenship in June 2021, i will be applying for my renewal. My question is
1) Can i apply for renewal of PR Card for wife and daughter when i apply for mine or i should wait for them to complete 730 days
Or
2) Should i apply only for renewal of PR for my daughter along with my PR renewal request

I have been in Canada continuously since April 2018 with my family visiting me for 2 months
 
Maybe first clarify that your wife and daughter have not been in the country since 2016 ? If so then if they try returning late 2020 it is possible they will be reported on entry for failing the residency leading to their PR status being revoked. They should have moved back in 2019 if this is the situation.

Should your wife and child not be reported end 2020 then they should not apply to renew PR cards until end 2022 / begin 2023 when they meet the RO assuming the 2016 date was last time in Canada other than the 2 months.

PR residency obligation is an individual responsibility so you wife and daughter need to meet the RO themselves so has nothing to do with your status.
