Bulletin 1 usually comes after AOR2. so in your case, the "Started processing on Aug 19" can be considered as AOR2... lol If your case is not very complicated, you should be able to hear back from the VO in 2-4 months... My wife's app was rec'd on March 28th, and she got her COPR and visa at the end of October. I would say as of now, there is no indication of delay due to the ongoing protests. But please do keep an eye on that.
Dang... starting from Monday, everything just went downhill here in Toronto... they said it's gonna hit -20 tonight (Thursday, 14 Nov)... I have to go buy my wife some more equipment before she arrives early next month....There has been no information regarding productivity issues at the HK office but I am sure they are very careful
in light of the recent escalations. It shouldn't affect them unless there are concerns for the agents/staff getting to work.
Other timelines show some applicants are moving forward so I wouldn't be too worried unless your application is
complicated or get called in for an interview. Keep an eye out for messages and don't forget to check your junk folder.
If completed before 12 months then consider yourself fortunate.

Yes, it is going through security screen, which could take 9-18 months, my worse nightmare!
But it is very entertaining to see the notes from IRCC officers how they determined the relationship is genuine. a lot of information, comments, reviews etc. Obviously, many people are involved for a single case.
