SDS or NON-SDS?

[Gautami]

Hi,
I am applying from India.
I have heard from a lot of people that non-sds applications are being processed much faster than sds.
I have heard of multiple cases where applicants got ppr requests in under 10 days after biometrics.
Is this an ongoing trend? Have any of you had a similar experience?
I am applying for September 2022, please advise.

What did you end up doing BTW?
Non-SDS is India is faster right now, from the sample size of around 10 cases I read here, myself included, folks saying 12 weeks are likely discounting the particular nature of processing here.
Kudos to the visa officers in India (where the non-sds applications from here are (apparently) processed; as opposed to SDS which, from hearsay, is processed in Canada), they seem to be running a tight ship!
