correct .
But this is IRCC stage . received pre- arrival before Eligibility Letter .
You can call IRCC Call Center or request GCMS Notes to know about your assessments .
In Quebec some process maybe longer

I didn't even get an email/changes to IRCC website for my eligibility. I recently called them and the person assured me that it was passed on July 23rd. I received my pre arrival on July 24

Hey there folks.
I have applied in April 23 and got my aor November 23 but haven't received anything regarding eligibility and pre arrival, I did call ircc too but they said everything is normal.
But here I see that folks applied way after me have received their eligibility and pre arrival.
Any ideas how is this possible?
My process center is Mississauga
