There is no new law. You are confusing PR and citizenship.

IS there a new law for the citizenship i mean i have to stay 4 years instead of three to take the citizenship ??

Yes - there is a new citizenship law. You need 4 years of residency in the last 6 years to qualify to apply. Yes - this new law applies to you.

No. You can Stay continously or Can take some break in between. For citizenship we need to stay 4 out of 6 years in Canada. Minimum 6 months stay in the each 4 years.
