Je pense qu'il faut attendre encore, mais n'hésitez pas à demander de l'aide à votre député provincial qui pourrait vous aider en essayant de contacter les agents du MİFİ.

Realistically you should expect longer processing after AIP in Quebec than outside of Quebec with Quebec cutting immigration more than outside Quebec. You can try to contact your MP but don’t think the province is going to be willing to give you a timeframe since you only received AIP fairly recently so you are at the end of a queue. I would be planning for another 1-2+ years and if you get PR earlier than great. The other big unknown is what happens after bill c-12. The H&C program is no longer functional so I would expect some significant reforms to the program.

If IRCC dares to cancel applications that have been approved at the first stage under Bill C12 the legal consequences will certainly be disastrous. Administrative law (including immigration law) provides legal protection to applicants and merely invoking the public interest to justify a failure to uphold their rights would be difficult, since such a public interest must be well founded and justified under the standard of reasonableness ! Nothing can justify an infringement of applicants fundamental rights, particularly those who have already benefited from first-stage approval.
For QC and its government, the situation remains uncertain, and there will likely be many changes in the near future, as what may occur could be quite significant, especially in light of the possible victory of PQ.

1st stage approval is never guaranteed PR approval. Yes the government will likely be challenged in court if they cancel a program. That doesn’t mean they won’t do it. It will also take a very long time to make it through the courts while many who gave applied have no status in Canada or their status is close to expiring.

I never said that AIP guarantees permanent residence. However, from a legal point of view it does give stronger protection to the applicant's rights within the administrative system. Applicants have the right to fair and reasonable treatment, and it is not reasonable to cancel an application that was approved in principle and considered exceptional (Based on humanitarian grounds), just by claiming a public interest reason because system is called broken even though it reached this situation because of the government's own immigration and bureaucratic policies !
Regarding legal status in Canada, you already know that AlP allows (Many but not everyone) people to regularize their status by getting a study permit, a work permit, or even visitor status, so there is no need to go deeper into that.
As I said before, people will not leave easily just because their status expires. Yes, some cannot handle such insecurity and may leave after trying everything to stay, but many others do not see a problem living without status. Immigration reality is more complex than what we usually hear or read.

There will be no mass cancellations under Bill C-12. I am not sure why some members keep promoting this rumor. Even in the highly unlikely event that large-scale cancellations occurred, it would not solve the immigration crisis. It would simply push roughly 49,000 H&C files out of IRCC and into the judicial system, creating a legal nightmare for everyone involved.
The real solution is obvious: regularize the status of people who have been living in Canada for years. IRCC needs to take responsibility for the millions of temporary residents who are already here working, paying taxes, and contributing to the economy by offering viable pathways to permanent residence and citizenship, like what Spain did recently, instead of pretending mass removals are realistic or sustainable under Bill C-12.

Everyone believes, or tries to believe, what they want and what works for them.
Personally, like you, I don't think that mass cancellations are the solution in a country that is facing more and more problems, many of which are not directly linked to immigration (even if there may be a correlation, not necessarily a direct cause). I also think responsibility exists on both sides. The government has responsibilities toward immigrants for many reasons, but immigrants also have a responsibility toward the country that welcomes them. Unfortunately, many do not respect this responsibility and end up causing harm to others.
