Do I have to live in Canada for 3 years before I can apply for immigration or can I apply when I reach Canada in September as a student?

You can apply for your PR as soon as you fulfil the requirements to apply under some immigration class, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

After you have lived in Canada as a PR for 3 years, you can apply for citizenship.

Thank you for your help.
So basically I have to finish my studies in order to apply for the PR right?

Most likely but if you find an immigration class you qualify under right now, say you qualify to apply under the skilled worker program for example, then you can apply right now.
