No - only time spent in Canada while having the status as permanent resident counts towards the residency obligation.

But if you are still within your first five years as a PR, any time left to complete the first five years can be counted towards the residency obligation because you can still abide by it through remaining in Canada.

Again, no. Not sure why you are posting again if your question was already answered.

No. Only physical days spent inside Canada AFTER your PR (landing) counts towards your RO.
Do not get confused with days towards citizenship.

I guess you were PR but not received your PR CARD until Jul 2019. If you turned PR on Oct 2018, yes, you can count these days for RO.

OP was in Canada under some other status (student/worker/visitor).

Again time before landing (virtual or actual) does not count toward RO.
