I think it's case to case basis. I applied for my mom via online last March 15th until now it says in progress.

I got PPR for my parents, application submitted online on 14 March 2017.

I had no hope of approval as documents were not so strong. Funds were deposited just 5-6 days before the application was submitted. We only provided 1 month statements for me and my parents. My parents did travel to Australia in 2006 for 3 weeks.

It's incorrect to compare with someone else's timelines. Each application is unique.

Unless there's an emergency/urgent travel, it won't help to contact IRCC with CSEs. So do wait patiently. Hopefully your parents will get decisions soon
