Hello People, any idea how long the eligibility check goes like an approximate time frame. Mine is in the eligibility "in progress" phase, it was updated on Jul 5. Any idea on how soon I can expect the decision or does it depend on each case.

I see a lot of applications submitted after 1st Jan has received PPR. But my application is still stuck on background check for the past 3.5 months. Not sure why is there so much of a delay!!
