You must wait until you have 730 days of residency in Canada in the last five years before you apply to renew your PR card. If you apply with only 600 days, your PR renewal will be refused.

If you end up losing your PR status because you don’t meet the residency requirement, your wife could sponosor you for PR through family class.

Yes - even with a house and family in Canada you must still meet the 730 day residency requirement in order to renew your PR card.

How long it may take for your wife to sponsor you if you lose your PR status depends on where you are from (your home country). You can get an idea of processing times here:

Thanks very much for the prompt reply? Please advise i am from pakistan but I see srilanka has less timing than pakistan so can I send my application to srilanka or any other country where time is less than 33 months.

thanks in advance

No - you cannot send your application to any country you wish. You can only pick your home country (country of your citizenship) or the country where you are living now (as long as you were admitted to that country for at least one year).
