Applied on September 1, still no updates since then. :-( Biometrics done for the study permit. I have two children as dependents, though... I hope to have the PGWP this month...

Hi, applied sept 7 from Ontario. Today morning I got a letter stating my bio-metric is still valid. The it is showing eligibility review started. But the background check is still showing processing. Is it normal?

I believe it should be normal. I got the same from IRCC.

Thank you @FarzanHyder and @astraldust. When did you receive bio-metric correspondence letter? I just received it today, not sure if they are working on Sunday or it is system generated...
I received it this morning as well. Could be a coincidence coz even I applied on Sep 7th. Well from the previous approvals we can see that they are processing the applications around the standard 90 day period. So I think we should have ours in a week or two, if not early. ‍♂

So it seems that they are working even on Sunday?

Yey, PGWP and children's' visitor records approved today, eligibility started yesterday! Applied September 1st. I'm so happy! Now we need my husband's OWP approval ;-) Thanks you for sharing people! It gave me hope.
