There is no point arguing over this. All of us want certainty in our lives. We all have our reasons to get it sooner than later. I am a canadian resident too. My girlfriend has her PR application in process since 12 Oct. Its equally frustrating for me since I cannot see her till she moves here (her visit visa was rejected once, so we didnt want to take a risk again and hence decided to file under EE FSW as she was eligible). I have spent thousands of dollars to go and see her back home (India) as frequently as I can. But, I guess the point - we all have to respect and appreciate each others' situation instead of questioning why certain people are getting their approvals early on. Remember - At an aggregate level, every quick approval is a good sign
