You single? My consultant said my application may take longer because I have a dependent. I also lived in 2 other countries other than Canada so I'm not sure if that also delays applications.
Yeah i'm a single applicant. It is funny, i noticed that a lot of the recent approvals had dependents, so I assumed that, combined with IT/programming NOCs were being prioritized.

I called IRCC on the 29th Mar. and the agent told me that everything has passed and just wait for the final approval. On the website, it's still showing "we are reviewing your eligibility" and "we are processing your background check". Does any one know how long will this generally take for the approval?

Typically 1-2 week to formally get approved in portal. If Lucky then 1 day.

How long did you have to stand in line? + If you are employed you have to take time off from work to go there, which is really inconvenient.

All my experiences with Service Canada were not so good, so I will probably prefer online when the time comes. :)
I went by 11 AM on a weekday, It was pretty much empty, there were more staffs than visitors. lol!
