The Accra VO was dishing out PPRs at the start of the pandemic, FYI. There were also sparse PPRs here and there from other non-India/HK etc. VOs.
FWIW the wait times for US base applicants still well exceed 1 year (16 mth ish based on my small-sample-size observation)
Yeah, these VOs seem to have stopped issuing though towards the end of last year. 2021 has been a quiet time for outlanders. Clarity and transparency from IRCC would ease some of our worries at this point.
