Hello.
I have received PR status , lived in Canada physically for 2 years and then left back home for 3 years.
I have renewed my PR card for another 5 years and now would like to stay in my home country for another 3 years before returning back to Canada.
Will I be in danger of losing in this case my PR status or if I have renewed PR card I'm safe?

In order to keep your PR status, you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 rolling years. Since you have been outside of Canada for 3 years, you now need to remain in Canada for 2 years straight to be certain you can keep your PR status. It doesn't matter when your PR card was renewed. The PR obligation is a rolling obligation. So yes - if you leave now for another three years - you could very well put your PR status in jeopardy.
