I passed medicals and was given a BIL. I have an appointment next week. All I want to know is, when does the bar appears into my account? I know its related to R10 but at which stage can this be? should I expect it soon?
Recently IRCC has removed the bar for all applicants as the bar only showed time elapsed and not the actual processing.
R10 us sally passed around the same time the medicals are passed. So if you receive MEP, then there is a strong likelihood that your R10 is passed too.
As per IRCC's annual 2019 annual report it takes 8-9 months for an application to process and not 6 months as depicted in the status bar.

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?
Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Data is operational and as such should be considered preliminary and subject to change.
- Processing times refer to the time in which 80% of applications were finalized by IRCC. The processing time is measured from the day a complete application is received until the time a final decision is made by an immigration officer.
