Not losing my PR status

[tawwad]

I am a PR resident along with my wife, we received our PR back in 2012, we did the landing, received the PR and returned back to our home country because of taken care of my old father and mother. Never returned back to Canada. I have now two daughters (NO PR for them). My PR is still active until November 2017.
I am still not ready to live permanently in Canada, but i don't want to lose the PR.

what are my best options? I want to live there but maybe after 3-5 years from now. What should I do, and what are my best options?

Looking forward to receive your advice.

You should assume it will be difficult to keep your PR status.

Permanent Residency is for people who want to live permanently in Canada. If you want to keep it, you need to live in Canada at least two years out of five.

Some people get lucky, and are able to circumvent the regulations. Sometimes, there are good reasons (Humanitarian and Compassionate), sometimes they just don't get checked on the way across the border. That doesn't change the fact that if you want to keep Permanent Residency, then you should live in Canada at least two years out of five.
