You have to have lived in Canada for three years total out of the last four (in any legal status other than visitor). Two of those must have been as a permanent resident. So, if you've lived in Canada for five years, but for four of those you were a student and you've now been a permanent resident for one year, you've got a year left before you can apply for citizenship.

Live in Canada as long as you can so that you can apply for citizenship without question.
