The expiry date on your PR card is irrelevant to calculation of meeting Residency Obligation or not.

Basically once you've been outside Canada for 3 years within first 5 years of landing as a PR, you are in violation of the RO. Whether or not they check your RO at airport upon entry into Canada, is entirely at discretion of CBSA. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they won't. But just realize if you don't meet the RO upon entry, there is a chance you will be reported and process started to revoke your PR status.

Again, the expiry date of your PR card is irrelevant to calculating the RO.

How long exactly will you have been outside of Canada since becoming a PR?

Complete three years ..but in three years i came on vacations every year for a month..so thats total of three months in canada in three years n now am here premanently n if i stay i will be having exact two years timeframe ..but if i leave for a month ,one month will be lessen from the two years requirement

I became a pr in december 2013,then i lived in canada for a month n left after a month ..then i spend 3 years out of canada but came on vacations a 2 months,,n now i came back in march 2017 permanently,and i have exact timeframe of two years if i stay

So you've been outside Canada 33 months since landing as PR. If you leave 1 more month, that will be 34 months.

As long as you don't reach 36 months, then you should be fine as you'll still be in compliance with the RO. Note though that even getting close to violating the RO, could cause longer delays on entering if CBSA decides they want to investigate it. You should always travel with proofs of all your dates in and out of Canada since landing as a PR.

The answer is the same, you've been outside Canada 33 months so make sure you do not go over 36.

Also to repeat again, the expiry date on your PR card is irrelevant to calculating your residency obligation.

Am sorry so many

In that case if you've been outside Canada for more than 36 months in total, you are currently in violation of the RO so could find yourself reported and process started to revoke your PR status upon your next entry into Canada.
