I stayed three years out of the last four years in Canada. I came as student to Canada. Can I apply for citizenship? Will I get any time for my temporary period of stay?

Your time towards citizenship is calculated after you have received permanent residency in Canada. You may still get some amount of time towards your physical presence during your temporary resident stay in Canada. Since you were a student, you will only be eligible to count half of your time that you stayed in Canada with a temporary resident visa (this time benefit cannot exceed 365 days in total). The general requirement is that you need to be present in Canada for at least 1095 days in the five years immediately before the date of your application signed.
