Depends on several factors. You can only see that applications are somewhat processed by AOR until MEP/BIL. But during eligibility, security and background checks, it gets muddled since some applications are more complicated than others (e.g., single vs. married, extensive travel history, documents are not in line with IRCC requirements) which may not be easy to verify, applications are re-distributed due to workload or some are passed down to local visa offices near where the applicant resides for the final step - PPR. Please also note that with covid, some VACs are not even operating or operating but with limited resources.
you may see some applicants saying that their GCMS notes say that their application is pending final decision or even ready for approval or visa. But cannot proceed because their LVO is closed.
