Don't think so, the minimum time would be 2 years (3 - 1 year max for time prior to PR). I believe you would need to wait the full 2 years before applying.
Read this article to see what changes are going to happen under new citizenship act http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1036049 and http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1036069

Based on the amendments below is the summary:
- Physical presence for 3 out of 5 years before the date of application
- Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident as a half-day toward meeting the physical presence requirement for citizenship, up to a maximum of one year of credited time

Hey Guys,
I got my PR card mailed to me yesterday. I landed on 16-Jan-2016.
PR Validity is 5 years.

Good luck to all who are in the process. CIC is doing a god job and sticking to their timelines.
See you all in 2 years for Citizenship.

I have not yet received the PR card.
Landed 25th Nov 2015
Submitted address to CIC on 5th December 2015 via fax.

I have been trying to reach the PR card call centre but the call is never answered.

Is anyone falling in the same boat?

Please advise what needs to be done in this scenario.

Thanks

Today I received a letter stating that my child's picture are not according to the latest specification. The photographer took the pictures according to the latest specification for our family. I don't know whom I have to blame. Somehow me and my wife got our cards. But child's didn't went through.

I have to take picture again today and send on the self-addressed envelope CIC has sent.

Hmmmm... well we can't do anything in this situation. I hope the child photo specs are not so different then ours w.r.t. center of head, shoulders, etc. parameters.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I will call them around the time you mentioned.

Did you also get your pr card late?
