I noticed people applying under FSW getting PPR request quickly compared to CEC.

My AOR: August 20
MEP: Sep 5
IP1/NA: Never noticed

Not sure about the IP stage.

Current status, that shows immediately after MEP (Sep 5):
Review of additional documents The additional documents you provided are being reviewed.

I'm inland. Is it true that FSW applicants can get PPR request quicker compared to CEC? Is there any reason?

Can anyone also let me know if my status? IP1 or IP2?

It is true that all the FSW's are getting the PPR much quicker then the CEC as per the eAPR Tracker, and nobody has a absolute reason as to why is this happening, but I read somewhere that It could be because of the Student Visa's that Ottawa has to issue (peak season is from May - September).

Also, Your status looks like that you are in IP2, congratulations
.
MY AOR is Aug 23rd, and I am stuck at IP1....

Thank you.

That makes total sense to me. That can be a reason for such delay.

Can you tell me what's your BCG status shows? Is it same as mine like:

Review of additional documents The additional documents you provided are being reviewed.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

I hope you will get your MEP soon :)
