You would qualify i believe next yr only because of the 180 days rule within a calendar yr requirement.
So in CIC's eyes, you stayed 2013, 2014 ,2015, 2016(running), so Jan 2017? This is my understanding of CIC's rules. other members can confirm this.
From the CIC website:
Time you have lived in Canada
You must have been physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for at least 1,460 days during the six years immediately before the date of your application. You must also be physically present for at least 183 days during each of four calendar years that are fully or partially within the six years immediately before the date of application. These requirements do not apply to children under 18.
If you became PR on September 30, 2012, and you did not leave Canada since you that date, then you can apply for citizenship from October 1st 2016. By October 1st 2016 you would have spent 1462 days in Canada. The total number of days required is 1460.
Number of days physically present per calendar year (in your own case) will be:
2012 93
2013 365
2014 365
2015 365
2016 274
Therefore you would be qualify to apply from October 1st 2016.
