Based on the information you have provided, you don't have any humanitarian & compassionate reasons that would be accepted by CIC. Studying outside of Canada is not an accepted reason and unfortunately having family in Canada will not help.

However since you are already in Canada, what you should do now is remain in Canada (without leaving for even one day) until you have lived in Canada for 2 years straight. You can then apply to renew your PR card since you will have met the residency requirement.
