Hey! I applied June 4th and they didn’t even start to review my eligibility . When they did start yours? Your family got it as well?
Did you apply for your family as well ?
I believe if applying as a family , it's often delayed .
Since the other applications are not SP extensions .

According to latest trends , it's a 30 to 35 calendar days processing .
Since yours is with family members , might take a bit longer .
Maybe they approved your SP and are working on your families' permits , to be sure about it , since your application passed the processing time , Call IRCC 1-888-242-2100 scroll through options by choosing 3-4-1-0 and you should be connected to an agent .
The best thing is they've introduced Call Back option , means you don't have to wait and be on hold for 30 minutes for your turn to talk
