From reading through this thread, I believe you may request for priority processing under extenuating circumstances. Before submitting your application, cases with family violence or abuse can be indicated on the application envelope (paper application only. For online applications, maybe a webform). And they will give it priority and process in a couple of months.
If you already have AIP and awaiting final decision, you can request for priority processing where for example you have a pending school start date (you email your BRO with the admission letter and explain that you need your COPR or may lose your spot) and they will process your second stage approval much faster. I read a case on here where the poster was in this exact situation.
I can't think of any situation that would make them process a stage one application with priority though. I hope this helps.
Thanks for you feedback. I'm still waiting for AIP. Yes, all personal background proofs were included to the application

Can the enrollment of children in school also contribute to prioritizing the application before AIP?
I don't think so. Just because there are sanctuary provinces like Ontario where your kids can go to school without status. So they might argue that you have the choice of moving there. Just like they use IFA to reject refugee cases.

In cases where you have only been to your home country and Canada, info sharing can start before AIP. Especially if you included your PCC from home country in the application. If you have a travel history outside Canada and home country, they will likely start info sharing again after AIP and that can take one - three months if simple. If longer than three months, likely means it's gone into enhanced screening and may take up to a year.

What about info sharing before AIP taking over a year? is that possible? For people who have lived and travelled outside home country for more than half their life

Not too sure about this one. Did you submit PCCs for these countries with your application? If the countries are part of The Five Eyes (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US and UK) it's possible they are still doing the checks because these countries share information with each other.

Since you submitted the PCCs, it makes sense that they started info sharing before AIP. It might remain in progress until you get final approval. Because you still have to pass security and that info will also be shared, then decision made and final approval. Best of luck!
