My mom is scheduled for Hearing on September, and to day I got a letter from the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) and she is selected. Now i am confused what to do. Any suggestions please?

i highly suggest you to seek Immigration Lawyer's advice rather than seeking here.
since PGP is a lottery and she has been selected, and at the same time her hearing is in next month, if you decide to submit PGP application, IRCC may put it on hold or refuse it until her asylum status is resolved. however if you ignore it, you lose this rare chance.
I would suggest you to submit the PGP application to keep her spot. at the same time, let her asylum case continue. do not withdraw asylum. it could leave her without status if PGP doesn’t work out.

We had a same experience, so after he got positive desicion, he got PGP letter approval, seems like they didn't work together
The issue becomes once a protected person you’re always a protected person and need to meet the conditions of a protected person.
Really depends on whether she has strong grounds for asylum and whether you qualify for PGP and whether she will pass the medical. If approved for asylum she will have to meet the conditions of a protected person until she becomes a Canadian citizen. If she withdraws her application she will have a removal order so may need to return home for PGP processing. Agree that consulting a lawyer for guidance who can review both the applications will be able to provide the best advice.
