myimmitracker.com samples candidates irrespective of their PPR status, so it's a better way of measuring precipitation than Facebook and the like.

Here are the new PPRs issued this week and reported on myimmitracker:
AOR Feb 16, 2020
AOR May 13, 2020
AOR Sep 19, 2020
AOR Oct 17, 2020
AOR Oct 31, 2020
AOR Nov 1, 2020

Not looking great for late 2019 / early 2020. It could be because they are finalizing them randomly for the entire 2019 - 2020 period. Sep - Nov 2020 is overrepresented because there are more unfinalized applications in that period.

According to my back-of-the-envelope calculation, they issued PPR for about 1.2% of the 2020 applicant pool this week. If they keep the same pace, and assuming they finalize applications in a random order like they did this week, applicants who got their AOR in 2020 have a 37% chance of getting their PPR by July.

You are not taking the VO into consideration. Most of these folks were VO Paris and London.
The late 2019 and early 2020 challenge is mostly with Ottawa. When Ottawa springs to action, those files will be cleared too.

I too hope that Ottawa goes faster, and when it does, I will happily update my estimate.
In the meantime, all I can do is extrapolate this week's PPR rate and it is clear that it is not raining PPRs yet.

Any idea about Montreal VO? How quick is it? Can I (Nov 2020, FSW-O, USA) expect a PPR?

All of the offices inside Canada suffer the same pain of pandemic policy. However, Montreal has its plate less full in comparison to Ottawa.

I just called IRCC and received an interesting update. My eligibility and security have still not started (AOR Feb 21), but my file was moved to Edmonton (which was the third secondary office according to my last set of notes) and then the secondary office associated with the file right now is Montreal. Anyone have a similar experience?
