I have been monitoring timelines in this forum for a while, It should take 6 months max to get ECOPR after you receive pre arrival and eligibility letter. In Quebec it can take more than a year. Keep asking on the web form every week and request for GCMS notes at least once. This can speedup your application or nudge the officer.
Is it true that in Quebec it takes more time to become pr as a protected person than other provinces as i have read on canada government website that quebec have no control on protected persons pr

There is processing time of 26 months based on last 6 months application that IRCC dealt with across Canada. Now I see in this forum and in 2021 PR Timeline forum that it takes more time in Quebec case center than other centers. Like Sydney center in Nova Scotia is better than Ontario and Quebec centers. Most refugees apply PR in Quebec and Ontario. Even if you apply online the application will go to your province case center.

It can happen, if you are lucky. My assumption is whenever we send a document like change of address or GCMS notes, the officer who is working on our application will get notified immediately, well obviously there are processing times for these things as well. Like change of address can take 5 business days and GCMS notes can take 30 days.

Majorly it depends on when you apply, like Right Now most of Feb 2022 and March 2022 PR applicants of protected person class are getting ECOPR. We should add difference of months from today to estimate when to expect. I believe one day we all get surprise. IRCC also limited the study permits, I hope they don't fire officers and give them work for us and other high processing time applications.

Did you receive Eligibility Passed letter? if yes then after sometime there will be final decision on your application which you can see on your linked application and then there will be pre portal email.
I have not received that letter. However, Eligibility has been passed and GCMS notes say "ready to finalize", since May.
