I have to say guys that I begin to feel a little bit anxious.
As much as I am very happy for you, as much as I am stressed, knowing that my eligibility only started on May 29, I still expect a lot of waiting time.

If it helps at all, My Biometrics is still 'In Progress' despite "Eligiblity Review" being completed. There doesn't seem to be any particular sequence in which the reviewers are completing these steps.

Mine's not even started mate. The fact that it has started is a positive sign. Not having started.. well, that's real waiting time.

I think that IRCC should provide us with psychologists during this waiting period :D
Like our future is literally at stake, I don't know if they realise this behind their offices.

I don't think anybody's gloating. People are just providing info that could serve as a metric for others with similar timelines. Sometimes it helps others raise questions with IRCC if anyone's stuck at a certain step. So I do think it's helpful in that way. I'm sure people's doubts and queries are getting answered as well when posed and explicitly asked for.
I agree... sharing timelines helps as everyone is in the same boat

Think about it in this way - the only thing that can possibly make you unhappy is if they sent your application for comprehensive security screening. That can take 6 months to 1+ year alone.

Anything else is usually going to mean faster processing.

Tbh, it is a very very good idea to assume that your application will be processed after 6 months. Don't let the worrying or overstressing get in the way. Enjoy your time, have fun with others here, and prepare for your future like a "Pro Immigrant" :D ;)

From the ancient docs IRCC released, we know for sure that non c-check applications have to finish their security in 110 days max. Eligibility takes way less. So, it is all positive for you unless you are in c-check.

Is there something that triggers comprehensive security screening? I have traveled quite a bit. Even to places like Turkey. I wonder if I should be ready to face comprehensive SS?
 
I've a health condition and for me MEP was sort of a big deal. My heart rate was through the roof too. After MEP, never stressed about anything though (except for standing in a long line outside VFS in a very hot weather).

Chandigarh? Elante? :D

Here's a very old doc relased from IRCC (credits to Legalfalcon for it). IRCC's own flags lead to the comprehensive SS. We definitely see someone's country as a factor here. You are less likely to go to comprehensive SS.

There are a number of things that can trigger comprehensive security screening, including:
  • Travel to certain countries: Traveling to countries that are considered to be high-risk for terrorism or other security concerns can trigger comprehensive security screening.
  • Unusual travel patterns: If your travel patterns are unusual or suspicious, you may be subject to comprehensive security screening. For example, if you have recently traveled to a number of countries in a short period of time, or if you have made multiple trips to the same country, you may be more likely to be subject to comprehensive security screening.
  • Previous immigration or customs violations: If you have a history of immigration or customs violations, you may be more likely to be subject to comprehensive security screening.
  • Incomplete or inconsistent travel documents: If your travel documents are incomplete or inconsistent, you may be more likely to be subject to comprehensive security screening.
  • Unclear or inconsistent answers to questions: If you are unable to provide clear or consistent answers to questions about your travel plans or intentions, you may be more likely to be subject to comprehensive security screening.
It is important to note that not everyone who has traveled to Turkey will be subject to comprehensive security screening. The decision of whether or not to subject someone to comprehensive security screening is made on a case-by-case basis.

If you are subject to comprehensive security screening, you may be asked to answer additional questions about your travel plans, intentions, and background. You may also be asked to provide additional documentation, such as a police clearance certificate or a letter from your employer.

Comprehensive security screening can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. However, it is important to remember that it is designed to protect the safety of Canadians and visitors to Canada.
