Not sure with current timeline any more.
These guesses like "you will get PPR within four weeks after AiP" and the like were mostly useless before anyway, because they usually came from a handful of specific experiences without accounting for which visa office or any other factor.

But people really want to hear a number, even if mostly fabricated, so not worth fighting it.
