Usually after you meet eligibility, your file will get transferred to be completed. For example, our file was sent to London abd the conducted the medical abd background check right now is in progess

It says final decision made?

it says final decision - your application is in progress. we will send you a message once final decision has been made.

This could take anywhere from a couple of months all the way up to a year unfortunately. It depends on your travel history, ethnicity ect... but the background check is the last phase after this if you pass, is ppr

this is a bit strange because up til now I had been checking things on ecas by loggining in to my account and they have a simple 4 step lay out there. step 1: in process step 2: you can choose to withdraw application step 3: decision made a) medical results b)approval status determined c)PR status determined and at the same time on the side it says at this point a decision has been made.

Don't be strange. The diagram you saw on ECAS is just a simplified version of the whole process. Everybody should expect the whole process will take somewhere around 6-12 months for straight forward cases. And there are several local VOs are much slower than others, such as London and NOVD. The longest process will be the background check, it can take from few weeks to no time frame at all.
