So what CIC just gave a couple of Decemberians PPR and kept the rest of us waiting :
I'm not sure if many persons outside of "Immigration" really knows the inner workings of CIC as it pertains to Express Entry, and there are a pletora of theories floating around, but my theory is that some amount of processing is handled by local visa offices around the World and they are involved/engaged long before our passports are requested.
It is quite possible that VO's with lower workloads relative to other regions of the World, maybe be able to process applications much faster than others, especially in places with low populations such as Trinidad.
It may be observed that some persons may receive PPR from VO's outside of their regions. It could be that they do load balancing. Again, this is just my theory, my opinion.
