When the first 5-year period starts for PR obligation?

[dionysos137]

Hi, I entered in Canada under work permit since 2018 Jan and got my PR on 2020 Jan. I left Canada after few months and stay outside since then.
My question is: do I need to fulfill my 2-year obligation within 2018-2023 or within 2020-2025? Thanks!

At the back of your PR Card, there is a date called "PR Since" The 5 year date is counted from that date for the residency obligation.

The rolling five year period for the 2 year obligation starts on the day when you landed and became a permanent resident. So if you got PR in 2020, then 2020 to 2025.
