"Look at those who applied pre 2020, they used to wait for 8-12 months with no PR tracker" - I can relate and forget about the PR tracker, the GCKey was way different than what it is today (there used to be no dates against each step as it appears today). Imagine the level of anxiety people would have back then (2018-19-20), the IRCC call center was even harder to reach. Amazing how applicants back then didn't have anything to rely on, for actual application status and still managed to control the emotionsPaying RPFP later definitely adds time to your application's processing.
Someone will always get processed faster as it isn't an apple to apple comparison between two individual applications. Good thing is, IRCC is fast. Look at those who applied pre 2020, they used to wait for 8-12 months with no PR tracker - that was slow. With IRCC right now, you never know, you can still be processed within 2-3 months.
