Yes it is weird that person is the only one who received ppr ever since mid March.Now we all know how "credible" these CIC agents on the phone are if you have talked to one. If you ask the same question to 3 different agents, you will get 3 different answers. Phone agents are pretty unreliable.
I would not trust this information even a bit. If anyone wants to know the bias of the person who said they got PPR because the person is an essential category, its called "Appeal to authority".
The only part I believe is the COPR by phone call. This COPR validation by phone is nothing new. Its happening all the time in Express Entry category for inland applicants. Applicants in EE category gets either an in person interview or a phone call. Because of COVID, they switched to phone call completely.
Until and unless its stated in CIC's official website that they are prioritizing these categories, I will consider that part of the information as hearsay.
Well only official statements from govt are definite let's wait until then. Federal immigration govt plans to communicate its new immigration plan this coming fall. Since quebec take their own decisions in regards to immigrants I presume they would have to state updates as well in the upcoming fall. I just hope things don't completely pause in the meantime
