All reliable third parties for GCMS notes will send you a consent form right away, not 12 hours later. This is not normal.

The average waiting time is longer than 6 months; see https://bit.ly/37nCTJD
No, you don't need to order GCMS. There is too much hype and falsehoods created by some/one of the GCMS providers on this forum. There are plenty of visa applicants who go about the process and receive their PPR without ever ordering GCMS or even raising a web form. So, not everyone needs to order GCMS and you can always start with a web form before considering that you need one.
Also just so you know if you are in canada you order them yourself for free.

I'm a resident of HK as well, I too wonder if priority processing will benefit those who don't have hksar/bno passport applicants

May be your application is almost processed, and IRCC is just waiting for your HK PCC.
The hkpcc is going to take 2 months to get to Canada I imagine. Hkpost has suspended airmail due to the pandemic. Please keep me up to date once the hkpcc has been reflected on your EE profile. Good luck
It's quite annoying of how they opt for sea mail than airmail. As far as I know, there is a huge shipment backlog for ocean freight due to limited space and ocean carriers are charging huge premium. Wonder if HK police force/ HK Post would really prioritize our Certificate of No Criminal Conviction
It looks like login to MYCIC ACCOUNT is inaccessible for today
