Which PNP should I apply for?

Hi peeps. I'm sure you get this question asked here a lot, but my situation is a bit unusual. I graduated with a masters degree from the University of Manitoba and then moved to Alberta. I've been working in Alberta for more than a year now under an NOC1111 job. I applied for an FSW-inland application in Nov 2020 (AOR = Nov 03, 2020), but I'm getting impatient seeing the application not budge for the past 19 months.

I qualify for CEC, but it doesn't look like IRCC is even prioritizing those anymore. Figured I might as well put in a PNP application since those are being finalized fairly quickly. My PGWP expires in Dec 2023, so I feel like I'm in a race against time.

Do I even qualify for the Alberta PNP considering I graduated from a Manitoba DLI? I know the obvious option would be to move back to Manitoba and work there for a full year, but I'm already established in Alberta and have a lease agreement, friends and a job here. So it will be difficult for me to move.

Just seeking some advice from fellow FSW-inlanders who got sick and tired of the waiting and uncertainty.

What makes you say that?

You look like you already have an application in progress and the process has advanced quite significantly (you've already received an AOR, completed your eligibility, and criminality, those are big steps), so I personally think you're wasting your time.
