1. For a replaced card, how long is it valid for?
2. How long does it take to get a new card?
3. Can it be really complicated?

1. 5 years.

2. Less than 2 months at the moment, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp

3. If you have been outside Canada for 1095 days or more since you became a PR or in the last 5 years if you are a PR for longer, then you don't meet the residency requirements and that could get complicated for you.
 
Thank you so much and sorry for taking so long to reply.
You answered to my question which I could not find answers to anywhere.
