Application was made on 4th of July, biometrics was given on 6th of July and on August 19th on portal it says **Biometrics complete**
Does it mean that proceeding has started on 19th of August?

Does your portal say anything about the start of eligibility review? If not then eligibility has not yet started.

Is there any such things as Sponsor Files ( Sponsorship for Brother) should only go through IRCC Portal and not GC Key?

There is no concept of "sponsorship" in visitor visa. You can write an invite letter but it is not sponsoring a visa. The visa will be awarded solely on merits of the applicant.

Also, you can use either IRCC Portal or GCKey for the application.

I applied for a visitor visa in the Netherlands in February 2022 meeting all requirements, still no response.

Under Review of eligibility I see the following message "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements".

Does this mean they have not even started to assess my application?

Is a 5+ month waiting period normal for visitor visa processing times?

On the official website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html), much shorter time frames are shown and I have been patiently waiting for almost half a year already.

Raise a webform. There is a backlog with so many applications. The time posted is just when most will be processed by.
