You will become PR the day you land in Canada.
To maintain PR status you will have to stay in Canada for 2 years out of 5 beginning from the day you land.
Following information from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/becoming-howto.html
To become a Canadian citizen you must:
be 18 years of age or older;
be a permanent resident of Canada;
have lived in Canada for at least three of the four years before applying;
be able to communicate in either English or French;
know about Canada;
know about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship;
Please note that time spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident may be counted towards becoming a Canadian citizen.

==> True but the spent in Canada without PR status would be halved.

XXXX>> That is to the maxximum of one year...
If you have stayed in Canada for 10 years before becoming a PR doesnt entitle you to a credit of 5 year of stay... It entitles you to 1 year.
If you have stayed in Canada for 10 months before becoming a PR it will fetch you 5 months credit.
