This update proves one of my points; Security, Crmilanlity cleared, so gets PPR even with a Sep AOR.One more thing to be noted is that the cases that added spouses and kids will be further delayed naturally. This is because newly added members' info needed to be reviewed just like any other primary applicant adding processing delays. So, they will go down on the priority list. If 4,000 dependents were added then 4,000 cases associated with those will see delayed processing. This is actually good for people who have not added anyone. If someone added their spouse and received COPR in no time, then your wife or husband must be really hot and the IRCC agent wants to f**k them. So keep an eye.
Looking at the PPR farts so far, I believe below is what is happening:
1st priority: Oldest applicants from 2019 and pre covid. (If you are from 2019 and have not received it, then assume yours is complex)
2nd priority: Expired COPR's. (If you have not received your PPR even though you have expired COPR, then assume there are people above you with early AOR's who have expired COPR's. Or IRCC may need a re-medical or new PPC from you because of your Country of Residence or other "unknown" factors. In either case, you will go down in the priority list.)
3rd priority: Applicants who have passed security and criminality irrespective of AOR's. (I have seen people from DEC 2020/Jan 2021 getting COPR's but they also have security and criminality cleared as seen from their GCMS notes. I personally contacted a few and cross-checked this. In my case, with a Nov 2020 AOR, my security and criminality have not started. )
4th priority: Cases with Security and criminality pending. (I believe most fall in this category. Since Criminality and security are mostly tied with external agencies, we may see real IRCC rain in a few weeks.
5th priority: People who have added spouses and kids.
This is the logic I see with IRCC. But, I could also be dreaming that logic and IRCC can be put in one sentence.
