Good question man. I can't say for sure, but I've noticed I think about 4 or 5 people get their applications approved in 100-200 days and they're all in the Maritimes provinces. So like someone else suggested here, maybe it's the case IRCC - who doesn't have to tell us anything about their processes - is prioritizing applicants in NB, NS, PEI, NL etc.
Thanks for the encouragement man. I've been laid off before despite having A+ performance and being loved by all my clients - the unfortunate thing is you just never know. Back in 2019, one week before my holiday, my own boss looked me in the eye and said: "Your job is safe, you're not going to be part of the upcoming mass layoffs."
One day before my holiday, she pulled me into a meeting to tell me I'm being laid off. So I just don't trust employers anymore after that.
