My Question :could a lawyer or representative attend the interview on my behalf if I leave ? With my documents he could proof easily i was here for more than 920 days .

Normally, you are not supposed to apply for a PR renewal when you are outside Canada. I have never heard of being able to send someone else to your interview but just because I haven't heard about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Talk to an immigration lawyer to find out.

If you can't get your PR card renewed, you can apply for a PR travel document in order to return to Canada when you are ready. If you at that point do not meet the RO anymore, you can apply based on H&C grounds for having had to take care of your sick parents. Provide medical documents. If accepted, you get to keep your PR and return to Canada. However, keep in mind that getting a travel document / PR card renewal based on H&C grounds does not excuse your not meeting the RO in the future so you could still get in trouble with your new PR card if you continue to stay outside. It would be better to apply when you are really ready to return.
