What you are seeing is normal, shouldn't be anything to worry about, have you got sponsor approval? Looks like you haven't done biometrics yet either? BGC and eligibility will take a while to show as completed.

Yes I have a sponsor approval already. I'm done with biometrics last March 6. Not sure why is it saying that I don't need too submit them. Maybe because they have them already? Btw, Thanks! When can I expect PPR? (In normal processing)

The normal response you are going to hear is a year, more or less, certainly could be more with the Covid slowing everything down. Nobody here can predict how long an app is going to take, each app is different and there are any number of things that could slow it down even in normal times. Our GCKey looks same as yours except shows bio is done. We are Dec 2019 applicants.

I'm really worried about my application. Because it is uncommon. It falls under other relative. I've read one of the replies that it took them 2 years to process and got refused. I hope it will not happen to my application. I'm October 2019 applicant. Are you done with additional documents?

I haven't been asked for additional docs, not yet anyways.

I didn't know what class nor who you were sponsoring so my answer of a year could be totally off. You should go to this page and enter your info and it will give processing times, but I don't think you will get a very accurate answer as your application of "other relative" I believe is more complicated than say, a spousal application. All you can do is try to be patient and handle it as it goes along. Good luck.
