If a person gets convicted of impaired driving S.320.14(1)(A) and is a permanent resident, is it possible to still stay in Canada. If yes, how and what is the probability?

Here's what happens.

You commit the crime.
You get convicted.
The process to revoke your PR begins.
You serve the sentence.
You appear before IRB for admissibility hearing.
You apply for PRRA.
You apply for H&C as a final desperate attempt to stay.
Your removal order is enforced, you are possibly detained and ultimately deported.

You go through criminal rehabilitation and improve your chances to return but we are talking probably a decade or two now.

The whole process can stretch over several years but what's near guaranteed is - you will be deported if you are convicted. It's worth mentioning your record suspension time will depend on type of offence but you will have a criminal record until then regardless. So you should ask, is Canada worth it at this point? Good luck!
