Does anyone have a different spreadsheet for August applicants? This one does not seem to be updated/maintained anymore:

Hello @Miss bee .. I hope you are well and can answer my query on what is the best thing to do.
I submitted my NON-express entry pr application last November 2024 and currently waiting for AOR. I am expecting it within this month.
I have an active Express Entry profile and yesterday, I received an invitation to apply under the CEC-Education category.
I am now confused whether to accept this EE invitation OR just wait and continue with my NON-express entry application?
Also, does express entry and non-express differ only in AOR time arrival?
What could be the best thing to do? My PGWP will expire in October 2026.
Thank you in advance.

You should accept that invitation and apply for CEC application too . Note you can have military PR applications under different streams. You have to pay application fees and right to permanent residence fees agains for CEC . If one application gets approved first, second application will get automatically withdrawn. CEC application processing time is 6 months or less other than non express entry PR application processing is almost 20 months.
You can apply for EE even if you have a non-EE PR application in progress.
These are your options:
1. Submit the application for EE, you'll have two ongoing applications. If one gets approved, they'll automatically cancel the other one.
PROS: you may get PR faster through the EE application (current processing times for CEC are 5 months). You can apply for BOWP right away with the EE application (AOR usually comes 24 hours after submitting the application), but given that your PGWP expires in 2026 you may not even need it.
CONS: you have to pay for 2 applications and you won't get refunded for one if the other one is approved (if you receive AOR for the non-EE application).
2. Don't apply for EE and continue with the non-EE application you've already submitted.
PROS: You don't have to pay for a second application.
CONS: non-EE applications are taking very long nowadays. Official IRCC estimate processing times are 21 months.
3. Apply for EE and withdraw your non-EE application (before receiving AOR for the latter).
PROS: EE processing will be faster and you'll get a refund for your non-EE application fees (if withdrawn before AOR).
CONS: You won't have a backup plan in case something goes wrong with your EE application.
It all comes down to whether you're willing to pay for two applications.
