Yes, they are allowed to stay.
The trite answer might be "about 3 years of paperwork." But in the end, the difference is where the person is waiting for their paperwork to complete. A refugee will be waiting inside of Canada for it, while an immigrant will usually be waiting where ever they are immigrating from for it.
