After submitting additional docs on 3rd March, B/G check went to "Not needed at this time". Not sure what that means, though.

If it's any guide my BG is at this status since 24 February. I have not had any requests for additional documents/information.

Welcome to the waiting game.

+1 for sharing interesting info

Though, issued ITAs for 2015 are far more than this. I think around ~20,000. So you mean 11K+ are from many, many other countries combined?

These information issued for end of July (for half year) the rest of 2015 is not officially issued yet. I get thees info from CIC website. What is significate is the percentages, which would almost stay constant. Your estimation is exactly true.
The other thing, is the successful applications ended up to ppr which was less than 3%

Indeed. After this no updates whatsoever. Not even ghost emails.

I think it marks the start of our own personal "Waiting Games." *cue The Hunger Games music*

I see. Your last statement, are you sure it's less than 3%? Meaning out of ~10,000 who applied, only 300 had PPRs? Or you mean 30% I find this hard to believe; source?
Unless I misunderstand your statement.

That's what exactly they did, something around 787 ppr for 2015 (for bout 20000 cases with job offers). This statistics does not included PNP, investments, sponsorships, startups which are guided to express entry.

I have heard from an immigration lawyer, that immigration officers review applications according to comprehensive scores, and put them in a cue.

More scores= faster review 8)

Hi, @Ali87, what do you mean by 'Comprehensive Scores'? Do you mean people with higher CRS scores get processed faster than those with lower CRS scores? Eg. my CRS score was 486. Are you saying I will get processed faster than someone who has a CRS score of say 480?

Also I also thought the pace of processing depends on what category you are. Eg because I'm FSW (Inland) I expect my application is processed slower than someone who is an applicant in the categories of; PNP, CEC, FSW (Outland).

Appreciate yours or anyone else's thoughts on this. Thank you in advance of your reply.

It's strange, I have created a Express Entry profile under CEC category. But when I have been issued an ITA, they mentioned that I have been invited to apply for PR under 'FSW category'.

Few of my friends told, CEC is just a branch out of FSW tree. Eventually everybody will be issued an ITA under FSW. Anyway, I didn't bothered much because all that matters is to get an ITA.

I mean exactly CRS, your score is in 450 - 499 interval. Inland applications process are not Necessarily slower, I haven't heard of it. I can't accept that.

From what I have noticed inland processing is much slower.
