Date of PR card is NOT relevant.

If you landed and became a PR in April, May, or June of 2017, you are still in compliance with the PR Residency Obligation and there should be NO problems about your status if you return to Canada in January 2020. Of course you need a passport and valid PR card to make the trip.

Depending on the date you actually landed and became a PR, it appears you may be cutting-it-close. The closer you get to the third year anniversary of the date of landing, before returning to Canada, the less flexibility you will have for the next two years.

When exactly did you land in Canada? i.e. when did you do your soft landing
