Any time before landing as PR will not be counted toward citizenship qualification under the new 4/6 rule.

So in that case PR card validity would be 6 yr instead of 5
Am I correct
The validity of a PR card is irrelevant. But the residency rule to maintain the PR status did not change. It still is 2 out of 5.
