Yup, OINP give first preference for CEC applicants. Second to applicants with masters, and the rest to FSW applicants. Currently OINP takes 120 days for AOR and 30 days for nomination, so total 150 days minimum after receiving application .
Just check the OINP spreadsheet in my signature. If you observe the history, it is evident that CEC applicants have ended up receiving nomination even before FSW outland applicants have received the AOR.

Just wanted to share my timeline.. I am Masters FSW. You should be patient..
Although some people with similar timeline have already received nomination and some are waiting even longer..
I spoke with someone at the OINP office last Thursday. They are just going through the November applications. Ours will take a few more weeks before acknowledgments will go out.
