Will a recent change to me being a Canadian PR make any difference to me getting a visa?

Becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident is very unlikely to have a negative impact on your chances of getting a US Visa.

Going through the process of becoming a Canadian PR shows a lack of desire to immigrate to the US. Showing proof of residence and employment in Canada are almost certainly going to be enough to convince a US immigration official that you do not intend to immigrate to the US. The short duration won't be a problem, any more than a recent move within France would have been. Taking a vacation in the US is something millions of Canadian residents do every year.

The only question mark is really your visit to the prohibited country. They will want to be sure it was not part of a plan to attack the US, or something else detrimental. As long as you have a good reason for doing so it's unlikely to be a problem (I know plenty of people in that situation who were given long term visas.)
