Hi.. anyone from US for Visit Visa applied through GC key before 7th Sep and got PPR?

I Applied on 3rd Sep, gave biometrics 23rd Sep and my application is under eligibility review since more than 2 weeks now. I want to travel in the last week of Nov.. just confused whether I should wait for a decision or apply again using the IRCC portal?

IRCC Portal. I have applied from GCKey for a visitor visa from US since Sep 3, gave biometrics and eligiblity review in process but no decision so far. While people are literally getting decisions within 4, 5 days on the IRCC Portal.

Processing times are just estimates. You are within typical processing times so you’ll just have to be patient. For some countries background checks can take longer.

Yeah I understand that. However my background check has been in process since a long time while eligibility review started more than 2 weeks ago. JBTW, normal Processing time from US has already been completed so I doubt I am within typical Processing times.
