Citizenship question!!!

[buckshot11]

Good day everyone. I need an advice and would appreciate it if anyone can help. I have a 5 years PR but don’t know how long do I have to hold it before applying for citizenship. I’ve heard some people say when it’s exactly 3 years but some says 5 years. I know lots of people here are very experienced and I know I will get an answer to my question. Thank you and stay safe.
