On my cGKEY the eligibility review is stating : we are reviewing the your eligibility.
but on iRCC TRACKER eligibility is stating : not started.
it is weird lol

GCKey is a legacy software that isn't designed to support faster application process (sub 6 months). Trust PR tracker for eligibility and BGC as GCKey won't be reliable for those.

@iSaidGoodDay still no updates since Sep 29, AOR Sep 1, file is at CIO Sydney and hasn't moved to CPC Ottawa for eligibility start.. it's the same case for a lot of other applicants too..

Is there a reason you believe you'll be sent to CPC Ottawa? Also, expect the processing time to take 6 months, if the process early that's better. IRCC can go as far as taking a year to process your application. Unrealistic expectations have broken quite a few in this forum

Isn't usually the SVO's job to assess eligibility? Unless there's no SVO, then the whole application will be processed at PVO. Is that correct?

My expectations are based on the current average timelines for similar applications, I understand though that every application is different and it could take a lot longer than that.

I missed the part where you mentioned CPC Ottawa was your SVO. I was wondering why you were expecting your application to be sent there

You'll have to call IRCC and specifically ask about what stages of background check are in progress, done or not started yet.

Yes just like @iSaidGoodDay mentioned i called IRCC, for status update on eligibility and Background check status for those 3 sub activities

 

[Owais Iqbal]

Okay thank you so much. This clear out my confusion. So I should apply with the current passport and when I get the new passport I should I raise webform and inform the IRCC? Is the the correct way?

Yes. That's correct.

 

[Owais Iqbal]
