My wife applied for TRV in Australia on April 10 2022 and review of eligibility is not even started yet. We're already past the 23 Days Processing time and after raising a Webform, they replied "Your application is still in process and currently pending review by a migration officer."

Do you know how long it takes after Review Eligibility started? or does sometimes PPR/Decision comes directly without even Review Eligibility started? We wanted to Travel end of this month for a much awaited family thing but looks like we're going to miss it :(

Can be both. Many are waiting beyond their normal processing time just a handful are receiving update.

Yes the processing time here in Australia is weekly updated and has been 20-24 days average for past 6-7 weeks. I raised the webform and got to know it's currently pending a officer review which means no have even looked at my application yet! Given 95% of Australians here don't even need to a make a visa application to travel to Canada and yet, they're taking this long to process applications just makes me sad!

Just wondering, my sister applied for visitor visa recently and got her Biometrics done on May 4th. She applied through travel company. They are not giving login id and password as they apply for all of their customers using same login. Now my question is, can I create a login and link my sister application so I can check status myself??
