it will take minimum 3 years to complete right..is there any advantage being a PR holder while giving these exams, example any preference?

Preference to who? You will be competing against Canadian university graduates and fresh graduates who are usually preferred to foreign graduates and new immigrants.

As others have already mentioned, it is very challenging for a person with a medical degree from other countries (except the US and a few other countries - http://www.royalcollege.ca/rcsite/credentials-exams/assessment-international-medical-graduates-e#jur) to be successful here in Canada.
Yet there are many who do try and the very first step in trying to pursue a medical residency in Canada is getting your Canadian PR.
Being from India, in order to work as a psychiatrist here you will have to repeat your residency (post graduation) again. A few provinces however, have ready-to-practice streams, and you are eligible if you have recent experience as a GP.
I hope this helps!
