Would add that in many provinces/boards you also would be required to pay tuition as an international student if mother has not obtained a WP. In this situation all that matters is that the mother’s status not yours. The child is a dependent of the mother not your family in immigration terms.
IRCC is aware that some exam prep or studies are done during non-work hours. You aren’t counting points for the studies. CFA is fairly common licensing so IRCC should be aware that it is typically done while working more as a skill upgrade. Being a CFA would reinforce your qualification for...
It isn’t a purely chronological system so can’t generalize to just March but there may be a slight uptick in P1s at the end of 2025 because they will likely be landed in 2026. Not sure what quota is left at this point. In general there will likely be a consistent approvals every month going...

It likely depends on the details of your file. Certain people are experts in certain regions/reasons for asylum so processing is often allocated based on the specifics of a case.
Post under refugee section. After biometric may be years until you see any movement on your file if you applied recently unless there are reforms announced soon. I would take 10+ years to clear the existing backlog.
Would mention it in personal history because it good evidence for NOC selection. FYI an aunt in Canada would not help your PR application unless you were given family points.
Yes they can enter Canada via the US. The pick-up is more of an interview. Assume they were compliant with their RO when they applied and continue to be compliant with their RO.
Is your mother still alive and does she have a visa? Step-parents usually are considered the dependent of a family member. If the biological parent passes things get a lot more complicated or not possible when it comes to supervisa, PGP, etc.
