Hey @thomas23! You are right, we definitely have to stay positive, patient and hopeful because in the end of the day, yes, the results will come someday for everyone 
It's just that it's getting harder to encourage people who have been waiting for more than 20 weeks without any apparent reason, or people, like me, who have been through delayed processing twice.
In fact, I suddenly realized yesterday that I haven't met anyone yet whose first application took more than 18 weeks to be processed and their second application more than 11 weeks as well. So far, all the stories I've read about people applying twice, three or even four times are the stories of people who received their decisions on every application within a month or two, and so, had plenty of time to re-submit their applications.
In our case, however, we are risking my already deferred year of studies in case our application is delayed any further or refused without a possibility to defer my program any further. This situation is not about general frustration of the delay, this is a real-life case of the ruined dream, if it happens.
If there is anyone else in the same situation like us, please, give us a cry out, let's add some sanity to this madness!

Have you tried raising a webform as your application has taken longer than normal processing time?Hey @thomas23! You are right, we definitely have to stay positive, patient and hopeful because in the end of the day, yes, the results will come someday for everyone

Hey @thomas23! To tell you the truth, I don't have much faith in webforms as there hasn't been even a slightest shred of evidence that they work.
Last year, I sent four webform, one every month of our four-month waiting period. Two of those webforms were answered with an automated reply of "Be patient and wait, we can't estimate the exact processing time of your application" and two were never even answered. So, as much as I understand that it doesn't take much effort to actually send it, I just don't want to put myself in a position of waiting for something that will turn into yet another disappointment. I think you know what I mean

Hey @rajuy1! Some people get their PPRs on the very same or the next day of their Eligibility status change to "In progress". Many, however, get stuck in this stage for many months. Our application from February 16 got Eligibility review update on March 20, it is our week 12, we are still waiting.
PPR and BVL should come on the same day, same minute actually, but again, for many there has been a gap in a few days or weeks between their BVL and PPRs.
