Topic: When does the 5-year Period start? Have trying to google it, but wondering when the 5-year period normally starts, from the landing date, or from the date receiving the landing paper?

○ If you are talking about to keep PR status, then 5-year period refers to ANY five year period; if you are talking about citizenship application, then it's 3 years out of FOUR years. -linda355(知多知少不知足); 2010-12-31 {147} (#6404327@0)

The Citizenship Act requires a person to reside in Canada 3 years (1095 days) in the four (4) years immediately BEFORE the date of the application.
