Question about PR Validity

[maplestaple]

Does PR validity of five years start on the date of landing?
If main applicant and dependant land separately, do they have different validity periods?

Yes, the five years starts at landing. It's not a validity date. It's the date you need to use to start determining your residency obligation to make sure you remain compliant.

Yes, the main applicant and the dependent will have different start dates if they land on different days.
