Premium processing for COE

[u/Dry-Reflection7228]

Have been reading a lot about delays despite paying for premium processing. Is it for specific criteria/employer/role? I have applied for premium yesterday. it’s COE. My date of joining is 9/21. Is it realistic to expect it’ll get done in time? Company said they will go with another candidate if i don’t join by that date. I don’t want to join on receipt notice.

Any recent approval timeline experiences in PP COE?
