I am a current PR holder started from 2010,
at that time in 5 years i needed to stay for 3 years in Canada,
my question is that after i renew it November 2016 will i fall under the new rule of staying 4 years within 6 years
or will the old rule apply to me of staying 3 years within 5 years.

Thank you

I'm in Canada since 2009 I got my PR in 2014 , still don't know when I 'll be able to apply for Citizenship !?? is it true non of the years I lived In Canada before PR will count ?
there was a slaw applications processing so it's not up to me that I have to spend 10 years to become a citizen ?
also I been working every single day since 2009 up to date .
can someone please tell me when I have to apply for citizen ??

Under the current rules you have to wait until 2018 (until you have spent four years out of six in Canada). Pre-PR time is not counted.
