PR Card validity

[vineet86]

Hello All,
Just a quick question,
Usually the validity of PR Card is 5 years. So, from which date this period of 5 years starts? From Landing date or PR Card print date or ...?

Thank you!!

Landing.

Just to add that the initial residency obligation of 2 years in first 5 years starts from the landing date. The PR card validity date is irrelevant to the residency obligation even though the PR card expiry date would be greater than landing date plus 5 years.
