Guys please look at the data - don't assume that portals come in 30 days after PAL -

What you'll see is that people who applied in early to mid 2021 get AORs in 11-13 months, and then their PAL/portals came through in 1-2 months. They had to wait an insanely long time just for the R.10 check but their applications wrapped up fairly quickly thereafter.
For us - late 2021 & 2022 applicants, we are getting AOR/PAL much quicker (1-6 months), but then that leaves a fairly long waiting time in between those steps and ultimately to Portal 1/ECOPR etc.
So we are all playing the waiting game, but the points at which we're waiting is different between the 2 cohorts. IRCC's target time for this stream is 11 months, so even if they give you have AR/AOR/PAL/MP in 2-6 months, they don't have to approve you for another several months to stick within their targets. They can drag out our approvals because we are a non-priority stream.
