PR - Citizenship?
If your application for PR has been approved and you move over and stay for 3 months. Can you apply for citizenship or should you wait 2 years. I am not clear on the subject.

PR is basically granted for 5 years. Out of those 5 years you need to live in Ozzie for a period of 2 years (365x2 days) before you are eligible for Citizenship application. That means you cannot apply for citizenship before that.

The residency requirements for Australian citizenship is pretty much similar to that for an RRV, except the additional criterion that the applicant must also have lived in Australia as a permanent resident for at least 1 year out of the 2 years immediately before the citizenship application.

The 1 year in 2 requirement is on top of the 2 years in 5 requirement,
but the same time can count towards both requirements. So if you move
to Australia and don't leave, you'll be eligible for citizenship about 2
years after arriving in Australia.
The residence requirement is only 1 year for those born in Australia, or
for former Australian citizens. Those who have served in the permanent
Australian Defence Forces for > 3 months do not have a residence
requirement to meet (but must meet other requirements, such as having PR).
There are some exceptions to the residence requirements, but usually
they are only given in exceptional cases.
