That sounds way too short. Until a few years ago you needed to be a resident (=reside) three years before you can apply (which takes about another year). I think now it's four + application processing time.

Canada requires you to be a PR holder and in the country for 1095 days in the past 5 years to apply for citizenship.

Up to 365 of those can be accounted for while being a temporary resident (on a work or study visa) on a "1 day for 2 days" basis.

You also need to actually be in Canada all those days. Any day that you're outside delays your citizenship by a day.

Then it takes about a year to process your citizenship application.

Overall, it's still much faster than most anywhere else.

It’s 3 years but applications are taking 12 months to process so 4 years total.
