Ive been in the US for less than 2 years now. I was planning on returning to Canada but unfortunately, it fell through. However I still meet the RO so I figure I still might as well renew it just using a relatives address just in case I do decide to come back. My question is that when I list the part time jobs Ive held in the US should I avoid listing my current one to avoid suspicion? Are the jobs (fast food chain restaurants) that Ive held here something they'll look into or is me meeting the RO all theyre worried about? Also does anyone know where I could take pictures for the PR card itself? Thanjs in advance

Are you really asking a forum about preserving PR status if you should make a misrepresentation (by omission or otherwise) about your work history, and using a phony (fraudulent) residential address, in order to renew a PR card? Are you familiar with the increased penalties now for misrepresentation? The elevated efforts being employed to interdict this sort of fraud? The enhanced electronic tools CBSA and IRCC have for identifying immigration fraud?
I am not saying you cannot get away with it. Some still try this sort of thing, and some are probably succeeding still. Their odds of success are down from what they were a few years ago, by quite a lot it appears. It is not the way to go. So no, going down that road is not going to be recommended by responsible persons trying to provide helpful information and insight.
By the way, a renewed PR card will not protect you from losing PR status when you reach the point of having been outside Canada 1095 or more days within the preceding five years, which if you continue to live in the states you will reach in the not so distant future. A new PR card might, but only might, make it easier to return to Canada without getting reported, but even that will not last long.
If you want to maintain PR status in Canada, you will need to live in Canada. That's how it works.
Any other approach would amount to gambling. There are better odds in the casinos, or at OTB even.
