Didn't you lose your job in early April?

I did and I appreciate their advice. I just wanted to ask will this affect my PR application in anyway? Can it be canceled or not?
No it won't be immediately cancelled. Your PR application can generally only be cancelled if your NOMINATION is revoked. Your PR application is tied to the nomination first and foremost, not directly to a job if that makes sense. I also expect that at 38 months, IRCC will need to show some type of leniency towards your application because they have screwed you over with an excessive processing time. I am honestly surprised you haven't filed a writ of mandamus yet.

At this stage you need to notify your province. They will provisions in place, such as giving you 45-90 days to find new work and then they'll discuss options with you. The provinces will likely try hard to support you to keep your nomination given how long you've lived and worked in your nominated province/territory. Only when those provisions are exhausted would a province revoke your nomination, but you're in a special situation where IRCC has treated you unreasonably so it's hard to tell.

Your best bet is to try and find new work and pray that your PR comes through before the clock runs out for you to find a job in the province you're in.

So Sorry to hear this. This sucks bad :(. Unfortunately we are no lawyers but if your PR is not approved yet then unfortunately there is a chance it may affect your application.

I also think you need to Inform IRCC about a change in your circumstances because that now affects your points and eligibility, If you read your Provincial Nomination Terms, any changes in the employment should be brought to their attention at-least that's the case of British Columbia.

I recommend you seek lawyers advice asap and get a professional help.

Get a lawyer for mandamus.

However you still need to notify the province that you have lost your job and find a new job willing to support your nomination.
