I am a May 2023 applicant, I have been following this forum since I registered for PR, until the new year everything was going according to a certain order, but in the new year everything changed and now it is not clear on what basis we were skipped and 2024 applicants are getting PR, this is very worrying for me. Shouldn't we do something? For example, prepare a petition and protest
 
I see that many people who applied in 2024 have received their P1. I applied in September 2023, and I’m not even sure whether my security step has started yet. Doesn’t IRCC review applications in order? How can someone who applied in 2024 receive the P1 email before someone who applied in 2023?

I think, IRCC sometimes finalize simpler (single) files first while more complex ones remain in background checks. Applications without dependents are usually easier to finalize because IRCC only needs to complete checks for one person. People with little or no international travel often go through security screening faster.
 
Hi , Any news for 2023 Applicants ?
I contacted MP for my application. Same update as GCMS, "criminality/background hasn't started. 3 months ETA"



Edit: I just checked IRCC website. It says this for APRIL 2023
