According to this, the one time initiative has been taking place and processing the applications submitted before or on 15 August 2025.
Family Reunification and the Protected Persons in Canada – One-time initiative
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada recognizes that the volume of applications for permanent residence from protected persons and their dependents exceeds allotted space in the Immigration Levels Plan and processing capacity, resulting in delays. To address this challenge, the Department announced on November 4, 2025 the 2026-2028 Multi-year Levels Plan which included a one-time initiative to process permanent resident applications for approximately 115,000 additional Protected Persons in Canada and their in-Canada dependents. This is in addition to the admissions space of 20,000 for Protected Persons and Dependents Abroad within the Levels Plan for 2026 and 2027.
To be included in this initiative, individuals must have received protected person status after a decision by either the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada through a pre-removal risk assessment, and submitted an application for permanent residence on or before August 15, 2025.
How do you guys think? If it is true, 2026 applications will not be included in this initiative.

Yes I believe 2026 applicants will be included according to this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/application-permanent-residence-canada-protected-persons-convention-refugees.html
IRCC currently states that it is processing up to 115,000 extra PR applications from protected persons in Canada, outside Quebec, in 2026 and 2027, and says applications will be automatically considered under the initiative based on available space. It does not state on that page that applicants must have applied by August 15, 2025.
