I think a virtual wager would be interesting. I say CAD 1 on atleast 1 PPR before 31 Jan 2017
I shall bet you one CanadabuckTM that it doesn't.
Really, though, there needs to be ground rules because it's gotta have a cut off date that doesn't make it seem still plausible. Like, it needs to be any profile that had an AoR
after, say, 7th December for it to count.

Yes, they should. But I am not sure about the data that they have. Either it is too less for an accurate prediction, or they do not want people to bug them. Therefore, they are playing it safe with 6 months. Maybe in 2018, we can expect something as tentative processing times that may truly predict something concrete.
I was at a recent getogether with some friends, one of whom is also in migration, but to Australia. He remarked that they know exactly which VO is processing their case and have, at times corresponded with them directly. This is in contrast with my experience thus far for the application to Canada, where you never really know any details about the person who's actually handling your case. It is
highly unlikely they'd do this (in fact it's also likely a violation of privacy), but it'd be certainly interesting if they Uber-ified it, with a "Your VO officer is XYZ", with information on average processing time for cases and their scoring, along with say, other metrics deemed pertinent or handy for the applicant to know.
