I think it all depends on location and officer. One officer can be very efficient and work on multiple files in a day and maybe another will only do one. It depends on case load too, per each location. Calgary, from what I've read has extremely fast processing times! I have seen people get their EcoPR and a week or two later they have their PR cards! There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to any of it! Our office in Montreal, we have been waiting 20 months for our application to be finished (inland spousal) Got EcoPR a month ago and both the photo and address are still "in review with IRCC" Our file is closed and accepted in the tracker. No updates and no Card. We have a trip in the end of June but will be applying for a PRTD if we don't have the card at that time.
