Is there any way to influence next review date (bring forward date)

Anybody has any experience where CIC reviews provided documents before the bring forward date?
For example: CIC requests police certificates and gives an overly generous 120 days. The certificates are delivered to them in less than 30 days. (real life situation)
Are 90 more days wasted collecting dust or is there something that can trigger CIC to review documents earlier?
Anecdotally some people reported that ordering GCMS notes sometimes springs CIC into action. What about an update in address? Sending an email with a question whether they received documents?

regardless of what people say, there is nothing that influences or kickstarts application processing. it is in the hands of the visa officer and their work habits. some visa officers wait until the "due date" and some dont.

Obviously there's nothing guaranteed that kick-starts anything, but is anybody aware of some action that possibly caused a review before bring forward date, something worth trying to do for the applicant?

Well the 12 months completed on dec 28 2019. So I've been waiting for almost an extra 3months. So does this mean they will look into further process at that time or it means they will forward the file to approval?

12 months is just an estimate. Some applications take longer to process unfortunately.
