No. It's been reported by many users already. The communication channel between AB and IRCC is broken (the social assistant check is applicable for any applicant where there is a previous sponsorship history and for other province, the communication system is working).This is my own opinion...….
I don't think the Province affect our application. It's just case to case basis.
IRCC have the same procedure of processing it. It is also on our end as an applicant how our application be processed, like depends on how we comply on the required docs, etc.
We're very thankful we are currently on the process unlike other that never got a chance to have a slot for 2019 PGP.
Goodspeed to all of us.
