Literally every single person I know that applied for the paper pr received everything in 13 months max.
But here, I only see persons with 20+ months.
And I can't understand the difference.
It's not useful to compare your processing speed to others - there's a lot of factors at play. My understanding is only one officer will work on your file, so if that person goes on vacations, sick leave, etc, your application is sitting collecting dust. Also applications received late 2019/early 2020 had a much shorter AoR and in turn overall processing time.
Believe me it's frustrating, but we have it better than most. Just read some of the comments on IRCC twitter posts, many students stuck overseas etc with schooling on hold.
