Why do you care if he submitted a letter and they processed it urgent.. just be happy for him at least he share with us that’s all and he is helping newcomers we are proud for him finally he s doneeeLook we do not have any issues with anyone getting processed quickly. Like, don't you think that perhaps once they saw an additional letter that is consistent with those who need urgent processing, then an officer may be told another officer to look at the file, and in the mix of things his file was being looked at they just possibly started processing it in the Urgent group.
We are talking about IRCC, not a very well-organized group. This applicant is a lawyer so you know that a lawyer will know how to write a letter that would just be ambiguous enough to pass as an urgent request.
Plus a letter is not on the list of things IRCC said we should add to our application. I think going forward all applicants can add a Letter to their application, who knows they may get rapid processing.
