Subject: PR card validity
  Hello

I know that the PR card has a validity of 5 years and that I have to be present in Canada at least 2 of those 5 years in order to keep my status as permanent resident. My question is:

Do the 5 years start counting at the time you enter Canada for the first time as permanent resident??? or

Do the 5 years period start counting since the time you got your visa to immigrate to Canada as permanent resident???

Thank you very much for your answers

Best Regards

The day you land in Canada is your first day as a PR. The counting begins from that day itself.
