Logically speaking, it should. It does in most countries. Not sure about Canadian regulation though.

The time you have lived in Canada before getting PR status can be counted towards citizenship. Each day is counted as a half of a day,you can only apply after having PR status for at least 2 years though. I hope that helps.

TheRobust is not wrong

Basically it's Bill C-24 that removed all days before PR . Link: http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?doc=C-24&pub=bill&Col=1&File=


This quote from another site but they provide a good summary of the changes in bill c24 http://canadianimmigrant.ca/slider/bill-c-24-is-now-law-canadian-citizenship-is-harder-to-get-easier-to-lose

To apply for Canadian citizenship, permanent residents now both have to have lived in Canada for four years out of the last six, and also have to have lived in Canada for 183 days or more per year in four out of the last six years.
Previously, permanent residents only had to live in Canada for three out of the four years prior to their application.

As well, much to the chagrin of international students and foreign workers, the time spent in Canada prior to obtaining permanent residency will no longer count toward the residency requirement.
