Did you submit your 24 months pay stub already? If yes, maybe that’s why they are processing it. I don’t think it has something to do with the public policy. Because why only you? And not other applicants without experience yet?I just called IRCC earlier and an agent told me that they are processing the criminality check, but they have not started the completeness and eligibility check. They have not sent me a permanent AOR yet. It will follow once they are done with criminality check, according to the agent, at least. I didn't know that they could start processing the application and jump to criminality check without looking at the completeness and eligibility first, even giving the permanent aor.
Im just guessing that it could be because of the public policy for applications submitted Jan 2020 to Dec 2020. Idk. Im still hoping for a positive result from them.
P.S. Submitted less than 24mos on March 2020 amd Stage 2 on Oct 2020.
