Hi everyone. Just wanted to share that I finally received FD today. A few things happened this week.
  1. I could not hold my horses anymore, so I called IRCC on Monday to inquire about my application. The agent informed me that the only remaining thing was security.
  2. Then I received a ghost update in my GCKey account on Tuesday. There was no visible change in my account though, so I thought it was because I called them the day before.
  3. Today at around 2:30 PM PST, I checked my tracker account and saw it was updated today. "Background verification" changed from "In progress" to "Completed". So, all 4 criteria (biometrics, medical exam, eligibility, background) were showing as "completed". Then I checked my GCKey account. Although there was no update on the homepage, when I checked full application status, it was showing "Final decision - December 19, 2024".

My timeline is shared below.

When I talked to the agent this Monday, he said my security screening had not started yet. So, I guess it was completed within the last 2 days. I think security screening tends to be the last step before FD in most cases.

It's hard to tell. Tracker gets updated for different reasons such as someone worked on your case, or the status of one of the 4 criteria changed, or you called IRCC and they received your inquiry. So, did you call IRCC on December 18/19/20th? Another thing is, whenever tracker gets updated, you can see what the update is in your tracker account under the "Application history" section. Can you see anything there associated with the update on the 20th?

According to my tracker account, it took around 13 days for my eligibility to change from "in progress" to "completed". Although the timeline varies from case to case, I hope your eligibility will be completed by tomorrow or by the end of the week.
