Is anyone received their PR card already as a protected person or update from IRCC? Thanks in advance

I applied in March 2022 in Quebec. Had eligibility and pre-arrival letters in May 2024. And no news since then

IRCC processing times show that 8 months left but I dont trust it. I tell my family - January 2027

You are essentially in a long queue for just the Quebec applicants. While Canada has added extra quota for PR for protected people that will only likely speed up processing outside Quebec. Would suggest posting under Quebec immigration where you may get more accurate timelines.

Thanks for the heads-up. Quick question though: my PR file was originally submitted from Quebec, but I permanently relocated to a different province in September 2024 and IRCC updated my intended destination to “outside Quebec” on February 2, 2025 (confirmed again through my current MP).
Since IRCC’s processing-times tool asks “Where in Canada will you be living?” and shows a separate timeline only if you’ll be living in Quebec (because Quebec also has to process part of the application under the Canada–Quebec Accord), does that mean my file should now follow the outside-Quebec stream, or can the original province of application keep someone effectively in the Quebec queue anyway?

Also, for security screening specifically: does the province/destination matter at all, or is it the same federal process regardless (with CBSA/CSIS providing advice and IRCC making the decision)?
