On the contrary No.
FIFO doesn't work in this case, though you would not agree.
For those that applied after 2016, it is run separately from the previous scheme, and might get PPRs before the previous scheme.
Have you ever wondered why there are two different timelines, if FIFO, would have been in place?
Please check other VOs, that are going on fast, they still have a backlog with the old system.
It's sad, but that is the way AVO rolls, ejirostephen gave an example yesterday, which I was shocked, most elders didn't react to.
In 2014, Canada changed the skilled worker application form paper to express entry, I got my visa in six months from AVO, and those that applied at the later end of 2014, are just getting PRs in 2017.
You know what happened, AVO started treating express entry, and it took a lot of petitions for them to be looked into.
For the new stream, getting a MR from AVO is a good sign that PPR is knocking, you know why, other applicants get MR from CPC, before being transferred to their respective VOs, we get ours late, Because of the peculiar nature of AVO.
Go check Dakar VO, the new applicants are getting PPR, while the old ones are still waiting with their timeline.
For the old applicants, start raising CSEs, especially if your medical has expired, gentle reminder about your medical status, hence one can get forgotten.
For the new applicants, the MRs have come to stay, PPRs should roll soon
