Guys i am lost, and i need some help,
i recently did my soft landing (August 2018), and in January 2019 i received my PR card through a friend.
Anyhow, my question is when is the last day that i can go to Canada and stay there for 3 Years and i Apply for my Citizenship, because on the CIC website it says i can stay a PR if i spend a total of 2 years in Canada and that was my Initial Plan to go after Landing by 3 years stay 2 Year renew PR wait one more year and then apply for Citizinship, bt then i spoke to an immigration lawyer and he told me that can be don but when my PR expires, i have to restart the 3 years in order to apply for citizenship which scared me because it meant i will get citizenship after 5 years not 3 years.
is that true ? is it true that Citizinship is linked with Landing Date?
