Sure if you still have a valid PR card you can still board a plane and travel back to Canada. However given you have failed your residency obligation there is a chance you may be reported on entry by CBSA leading to your status being revoked subject to appeal. As a PR would still be entitled to enter regardless and if by chance not reported you need to stay in the country for minimum 2 years and not apply to renew your card or try to sponsor anyone.

Just to add PR cards expire PR status never expires and can only be revoked or renounced At least you still have a valid card so can travel to Canada and take your chances with CBSA not being reported, but as said you can still enter the country even if reported.

Would also warn you that you can’t sponsor a spouse until you are compliant with your RO so you are likely looking at a 3 year separation from your spouse unless they can get a TRV to visit you in Canada. Obviously that is conditional on you not getting reported for not meeting your RO.
