Yes, in January I did find that there might be no correlation between an ETH and a prolonged processing based on the experience of candidates whose applications were either approved in 2018 or still pending beyond six months. But there were a number of things I didn't know then that I know now. Indeed, a number of candidates will be delayed due to The Great Backlog regardless of having an ETH or not, but there are ways in which IRCC treats the applications of candidates that have multiple PCCs and/or ETHs that leads me to believe the following:

1. IRCC/CBSA authenticate every single PCC with the issuing authority - PCCs are authenticated in batches and this explains why we observe a "PPR rain" from certain VOs.

2. Trivial as it sounds, IRCC/CBSA actually comb through your passport(s) to match your travel dates with entry and exit stamps and/or other data available to them from foreign governments. I used to think surely they don't have the time for that...maybe they randomly select, say, every 10th candidate for a thorough vetting - this is not the case! We have seen several cases of applicants here who received ADRs for not reporting something minute like the correct Schengen exit port or a trip they had not listed but for which they had stamps in their passport. Since it took me about 36 hours to compile my list (about 115 trips total), I imagine it would take an IRCC officer the same amount of time to independently reproduce my travel history and then corroborate that with what I submitted. I can't think of another explanation for how razor sharp IRCC have been when someone has missed a stamp or a trip.

3. IRCC/CBSA look at the candidate's overall travel profile to find suspicious patterns. I don't know what their algorithms are programmed to flag, but I'd be surprised if travel in unstable regions of the Middle East, Africa or Latin America are treated with particular joy.

4. CBSA also quizzes certain foreign governments to find out more about your travel there. Again, we can't have enough information on why they pick certain trips to investigate or how they arrive at their conclusions, but I imagine this is standard practice for a thorough vetting.

All of these factors add time to the usual processing sequence. I've realized that security cannot "start" without criminality having been passed, and eligibility won't be promoted to passed until at least the medicals and criminality have been passed.

I have found no particular evidence based on MyImmiTracker data that there is a bias toward candidates that are single or have multiple dependents. There is also no evidence pointing toward a bias for certain NOCs or candidates with higher CRS scores. Any biases we presume for countries of residence (such as the US) actually tie back to the background check process I have explained above. Because there is a high level of information sharing between the US and Canada, a candidate presently living in the US is looked at most favorably compared to any other region, and US residents are also likely approved faster because the FBI reauthenticates PCCs faster than Scotland Yard or the Indian Police, for example.

With the way MyImmiTracker is presently structured, we can't control for the number of PCCs or ETH because this information is not recorded - not only should we track the number of PCCs, we should also put down the names of the issuing countries and also the number of trips reported. We could then start to make some sense of the data.
Amazing analysis!

The thing that makes me nervous is the fact that I filled my travel history incorrectly. For the Schengen area, I only entered countries of destination (a country I asked for a visa), not all the countries visited during the trip. For instance, I flew to Italy, then moved to Belgium, then stay in Netherlands for several days, then moved to Latvia and finally went back home - and I wrote it like a single trip to Netherlands with dates written on Italian and Latvian stamps as I used a visa provided by Netherlands. I had several trips around Europe like this.

My security has been ongoing for two months, and they haven't asked for additional information about visited countries yet. I wonder if they are satisfied with the provided history or decided to perform in-depth checks :(

WOW !!! Truly Amazing !!! this is clearly written like a research report from an Investment Banker / Stock Broker based on thorough analysis of a scrip. I would definitely hire you either as an Investment Advisor or Portfolio Manager.
