I applied under old rule, back then I didn't sign a form that state intention to live in Canada. After I got Canadian passport, can I work and living in native country for long period time? Well my citizenship take away when I re-entry Canada? During the time I live aboard I will continue report tax every year, and holding property in Canada.

Hi
It doesn't matter if you have applied under the new rules or the new rules. Nobody will take away your citizenship because you live abroad.
That intention is only until the Oath.
Many people are leaving Canada for better opportunities abroad. I understand them completely why.

There is no legal basis to revoke your citizenship, but many people will not like it and will call you a "Canadian of Convenience."
