Can you guys see online status if you have received AOR already?

Is there anyone who applied in July 2017 and what's the timeline.

I sent my application on July 31st, no updates after that.

Just curious, under what conditions one needs to re-apply for the PR card?
AFAIK, PR card is valid for 5 years and one can get Citizenship if (s)he lives in Canada for 3 years.

If PR is getting expired and you have not got the citizenship yet

When did you get the acknowledgement?

I received my renewed card last week. Total time for my application is July 20 - Sep 27.

So if I had spent 2 years in Canada on my last PR card, do I need to spend 1 year on my new card or 3 years on the new card as well to qualify for citizenship?

The residency obligations is 2 years out of rolling 5 year . So in any 5 year period you should have 2 year. Card validity is not relevant.

Can you pls re-confirm if it is 2/5 Rolling or 3/5 Rolling years.
I was under the impression that it is 3/5 Rolling years.

It’s 2 out of 5 year at any given time after the initial 5 year.

Can you pls clarify this little more.
Didn't really understand what you meant by "after the initial 5 years" here.

The first 5 years since your landing in Canada. Are you a landed immigrant yet or yet to do so?

I am yet to land. So let me make my understanding clear:

I will be given 5 years PR once I land. So you mean I will have to sustain my PR in these 5 years and then to get the citizenship, I need to spend 2 continuous years in the next 5 years viz: 6-10 years after my initial landing?

SInce you have not landed yet, I will take a hypothetical date and answer . Lest say you land on 01-Jan-2018. Then, between 01-Jan-2018 to 31-Dec-2023 you need to have 730 days or 2 years physical presence in Canada. After 31-Dec-2023 it is a 730 days or 2 years for any given 5 years. That means, after 31-Dec-2023, if IRCC examines a period from 01-May-2018 then they will examine 01-May-2018 and 30-April-2023. SO, after the first 5 years at any given point in time period there should be 730 days or 2 years physical presence in Canada to be considered as you having met the residency obligations.
It is however , not 0-5th year time period and 6th-10th year time period. It will be 0-5 and then it will be 1-6th year , 2-7th years and so on.
For Citizenship, as of now its 3 years physical presence in Canada. So, if you have 3 years in the first 5 years then you are eligible why go for the 6-10 years time frame. The physical presence in Canada need not be continuous except that it will be 3 years as compared to 2 years to maintain as PR.
