It's from when you actually did your PR landing in Canada.

So if you landed in July 2014 and left immediately after, technically you would be violating the RO starting exactly 3 years later so July 2017.

If you returned in June 2017, you would be cutting it close but still in compliance with the RO. Keep in mind this mean over the next 2 years in Canada you need to watch your RO very carefully as any trips outside Canada could cause you to violate the RO.

Also keep in mind when applying to renew your PR card, doing so while barely meeting the RO can cause very long delays if your file is sent for extra review.
Thanks . I understand that I will have to stay in Canada for 730 days by July 2019 to meet the RO. But do you think there is any possibility I may be reported and the PR would be revoked if I try to enter Canada in June 2017 ?

You shouldn't be reported at the border provided it's been less than three years since you landed. However I would strongly advise you to return to Canada a few months sooner. If you return in June, to keep your PR status you will have to effectively remain in Canada for two years straight without leaving. This often isn't practical since people typically want to be able to leave Canada once in a while for family reasons (e.g. family emergency outside of Canada), to go on vacation or for business purposes. I would return several months earlier to giver yourself a buffer.
