I made several calls to IRCC, e-mailed Mr. Goodale and up to about a week before I got the RPRF request my status was Eligibility and Security not started. I'm glad this ordeal is finally over with.

It’s frustrating. So we can do nothing but wait?
Yes, I contacted one of the local MP and I was told to be patient cause the federal election is coming up so it's probably gonna be super busy as they need to get ready for the election
 
For those who have submitted ADRs: did you receive a ghost update after document submission?
I did receive a ghost update a day after my docs were submitted. Just want to know if it is really a ghost update or just a system update due to document submission
I got ADR Sep 3 submitted 4th. I saw that it was updated to not applicable by the next day Sep 5. Got a ghost update today. AOR Jan 21

Saw exact same behavior. AOR Jan 20.
Not sure if ghost update is someone 'approving' OR just updating something based on doc submitted. I hope it is former

I think once they pick up your file, they complete the work on it. They wouldn't make a minor update and just toss your file back into the pile, unless there's grounds for ADR or misrepresentation, etc. It probably means it's approved or at least a significant eligibility criteria has passed.
 
248 days today :-(

According to Mr Ralph on 8 Aug 2019

Eligibility is met.
Criminality passed.
Security checks have not been initiated. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.

SO HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR SECURITY TO BE CHECKED???...

Guys, I know how hard this is cause I am being boiled here as well, but think of it in this way, the longer we wait, the more we know how difficult this is, and more we will appreciate this all! something that is too easy to get, we might not cherish or care that much about it...I am just trying to boost myself as well as everyone else that's still desparetely waiting here. Cheers!

Yeah, I agree with this sentiment. I've realized I was taking Canada for granted, since I applied from the US. But now it would feel like a saving grace once the PPR actually arrives. The delay sucks but it's increasing my perceived value for that place and that's not a bad thing :)

I'm already at the stage that when it eventually comes, I won't be excited.

Remember to quote yourself saying this when you post your PPR message later ;)

Eligibility met is a curse.

I have been waiting longer than people who had eligibility review required.
