question- when does PR obligation start (2 years for PR renewal, 3 years for citizenship)- at the time of receiving COPR/immigrant visa or after landing and getting PR card in Canada?
thank you.

PR obligation starts with your landing date.

For citizenship, the 3 years can include pre-PR time spent in Canada up to 1 year (1/2 day credit for every day spent in Canada pre-PR). Days spent in Canada after landing count as 1 full day towards the obligation.
