I guess the delay is probably us awaiting applicants apply for extensions of BOWP and then the PR gets approved. $255 per applicant right.. economy is slowing down.. elections are coming up.. govt needs extra funds
.. once alot of BOWP extensions r issued then the we will see more updates 
i have personally applied for:
1- off campus work permit (3 months)
2- post graduate work permit (12 months)
3- bridging work permit (4 months due to passport expiry)
4- bridging work permit (8 months to cover for 12 months total duration)
5- bridging work permit extension...
just count the $$$$$
