In a 5 year period i have to stay 3 years as a permanent resident to apply for citizenship.

However if u have lived for more than 2 years as a temporary resident it counts as one year towards the citizenship.
The minimum physical presence time is 2 years, but do i have 5 years or until the end of my pr card expiry to complete that 2 years or do i now only have 4 years to complete that 2 years physical presence requirment.

Eligible for maximum 365 days for temprorary worker

Pr since: 5 october 2017,
Left canada : 13 march 2018 ( 5 months counted)

Planning to stay till march 2020 in home country

Will i then be able to complete 1 year and 7 month in time?
