Same. People are travelling less so hopefully that means faster processing of prtd applications. I applied for myself and my 2 daughters. We meet the RO by a margin (had only been out of Canada for 30 days in 2018). My planned return was this Monday but I guess not anymore. Usually it takes 8 months or more for those with H&C but I have some normal cases in 2018 taking that long. Lets seeHaha I know! I read the same one which us why I didn't really believe them. The timelines you are referring to gives me a bit of hope. I have read some horror stories of it taking 8 months or something like that. I guess it depends on the application as well.
Are you applying just for yourself? Did you meet the RO? When are you planning to return?
