PNP applications go through two stages: the province decides on your nomination first, then IRCC processes your permanent residence application. Each province publishes its own processing times, and waits of several months with no update are unfortunately common, especially at busy times. Check the posted times on your province's website and the IRCC processing tool before worrying. If your file is well beyond the posted time, you can contact the province or use the IRCC web form to ask for a status update.
