May be you so jealous that he got some updates before you. My file is also in Sydney office and my AOR is almost same as him. Still I am waiting patiently to get some updates and never complained or doubted about processing Time. There is only one key to get PR after paper application is waiting. I have seen people getting PR almost after 3 years. We are so lucky that current timeline is 18 months. If you really want to get PR faster than you should withdraw your application and go for EE. If you are not eligible for EE than just keep your paper application running, be kind to others, be positive and be patient.So that explains it.
Your file had already been transferred to Ottawa long time ago (in February 2020), of course you don’t care about Sydney office at all. Now I understood.
If I were you, I don't care about Sydney either.
And last thing, I am not going to do counter comments on your reply to this as I am not going to do debate on this.
Thank you and best of luck
