I heard that if you got other application to CIC, the processing time will be longer. There are others who submitted their application almost at end of february who already got PPR. So i guess there is really a delay if you got other applications to CIC
don't think so...my friend has a pnp application also and in 45 days she got her pr with express entry!

I would say do not do it. Now, CIC has access to CRA's account and they can validate the information directly from CRA if required which might delay processing if you black-out the SIN.

Please black out the sin no ...cic specifically asks you to do so....you can check the cic check list for paper applications...
