Your time is counted from the time you start living in Canada. If the family lives in Canada, they can save their PR's even if the main applicant can't. The family will have the option of sponsoring the applicant once he/she decides to move to Canada permanently.

You have basically one year from your medicals to have your PR stamped. As an example, if you get your PR 9 months after your medicals, you have basically 3 months to land in Canada. Within those 3 months, the day you land in Canada the first time is the time they start counting toward your PR and citizenship too. To be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) out of the four years (1,460 days) preceding your application.
