I applied for CEC yesterday and got AOR (automatic), but other than that, nothing grants fast-processing times anymore. Some people from March are getting COPR now and some people from October, September, August, etc are still waiting. We don't know a lot about this new program, many things might be going on in the back.
IRCC has doubled its immigration target if we compare it to a couple years ago, however, it looks like they don't have the infrastructure to keep up with it. Express Entry was created in the first place to avoid long processing times (2-5 years) and right now, some programs are getting a long backlog again (eehemmmmm paper-based PNP).
