I came to Canada via UNHCR and got my PR Confirmation when I landed at the airport.
"""""""""""""""
question 9B): During your eligibility, did you have Temporary Resident or Protected Person status in Canada before becoming a PR?
A protected person is a person who:
was found to be in need of protection or a convention refugee by the Immigration and Refugee Board or
a person who received a positive decision on a Pre-Removal Risk from IRCC
NOTE:If you made a refugee claim, or were included on a family members refugee claim, you will not be accredited time in Canada from the date of the claim until you received a positive decision confirming that you are a protected person as described above.

I was a refugee before coming to Canada via UNHCR and the process took more than 5 years. Was I a protected person? I wasn't protected in anyway.
