FWIW, March AORs thought that they were slower compared to Jan AORs. Look at them now, you April AORs are jealous of themThere's a pattern here of "feeling slow": CECs think they are slower than FSWs. PNPs think they are slower than FSW, CEC, etc. This despite us being processed more or less the same way.
Technically, all inland candidates go through Security screening record check - IRPA 34: This is not handled by IRCC, but by CSIS - so an external department takes on a work. This could lead to delays. No way of saying this without looking through CREATED BY and UPDATED BY dates from GCMS notes.
Most outland candidates would skip that step. But on the other hand, your province could've already finished your security too. Hopefully, you'll never get to learn about your application through a GCMS note and be processed fast.
I don't think people are jealous here but are concerned - as lot need to be planned for the future and it all depends on how these things getting cleared. It's same for all - no matter they are PNP, CEC or FSW. Till the time we get a PPR request most of us here are anxious !
