1) Meet residency obligations by living in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years.
2) Sure - you can have a consultancy company. But this won't help you to maintain your PR status.
3) Days spent outside of Canada cannot be counted towards citizenship

Depends. If the company is sole purpose is to preserve your PR status and has no other employees in Canada, it doesn't qualify.
