I don't understand this...how some people are still waiting for AOR from October but some December apps already have Pre-Arrival/PPR. I hate this process.
wellas u may already noticed this whole appliction processing has nothing to do with chronological order or first come first serve. Sometimes it just depends on luck alone and if the officer is bias or not. Sad but it's true lol

I 100% agree and understand. I'm not expecting everyone to be processed in the same amount of time. What I don't understand is why so many have to wait 12+ months when they're fully capable of processing within 3 months. If they can acquire all security/background clearances for some in that period then surely they can in more cases.

I think they have a number of RP by category to be granted for each year. This number is set by the parliament each year, though.
In that case, they do not allocate the number fairly between regions or visa offices. That's why you see some are at the final stage and others are at the early stage. Nowadays, COVID pays the price but it was always like that..... This is Unfair process!!!

So are you saying, in their totals they allocated how many permanent residents they want to accept from each region? I think this process is fine for experience class/workers etc. but, this shouldn't even be a consideration for family class. Anyways, I'll stop whining I'm just really aggravated - again exacerbated by not seeing my husband in a year - with no freaking idea when that's even a possibility again.

It does not apply to family class. I'm not even sure there are such allocations for other classes. Government does have targets for total numbers and reports projections (estimates) for regions, but targets and projections are different things.
