I read another source about the matter. They say 5 years period starts after probation.
Here is the link:

ENF 141 OP 19 Criminal Rehabilitation
DISTRIBUTION LIMITED TO CIC AND THE CBSA
16. Procedure: Calculation of the start date of the five-year or 1O-year period
The following will assist in the calculation of the start date of the five-year or 10-year period:
Act: the date on which the act occurred.
Conviction: the date of the end of the sentence.
Conviction and sentence In sbsentJtr. not eligible for rehabilitation because the sentence has
not been completed.
Imprisonment without parole: the date the term of imprisonment is completed.
Parole: the date on which parole ended.
Probation: is part of the sentence. Therefore, count from the end of the probation period.
CIC is not very clear on this, but when you read their manuals you see all the details.
I wish you good luck! All the best..
