Congratulations! Was your application processed in Beijing visa office or Hong Kong visa office?
Did you apply all by yourself, or did you use an agent?

All by myself. The "agents" in China asked about 60 to 80 thousands CAD$ to do it, it's insane.

My case was processed mainly in Hong Kong, only the Biometrics was took in Beijing.

You must have a strong profile for an interview waiver!
Would you mind sharing you score?

Yeah, I agree with you that he has a strong profile. I THINK that his application meet all the factors behind the scene.

During my wait, I got some news said that the interview was moved to Beijing temporarily because of the pandemic. I don't know if that is true, but seems the pandemic do slow things down.

So I guess maybe the no-need-interview cases inculde mine may got priority processing, even faster than normal. It's just my guess.

My score is arround 65 I think, but as people said, it's not a key factor at all, the score is just a ticket.

I'm not a "world-class" or "famous" or any sort of big dog in my business.

As I know that in Self employed stream the officer is not suppose to ask for an interview unless he /she has some doubts in the information provided by the applicant. It is a black or white stream where there is no room to argue unlike entrepreneur.

It depends on LVO's practice.
