You don't have to compare yourself to anybody. Different stages of application are fast depending on CIC. For example, I got my additional request (PCC, schedule A and the rest) a month after AOR. All of my friends that applied before me were telling me how lucky I was to have gotten it so fast. I ended up waiting forever for my MR while they got their MR pretty quickly. It seems to me that CIC is concentrating its effort on AOR right now. Doesn't mean the application will be processed any faster than yours.
