What are the stages you have left on your cgkey? Eligibility and background check? The background check takes the longest. Mine took around 6-7 months after the pre-arrival letter.
We called them yesterday and they told us
“Officer is working on your background check” and soon you will hear from us and got that letter today .
Medical and biometric were completed already.

Okay, so you are waiting for the background check and eligibility check to be completed. You should hear updates within a couple of months!

I applied for SOWP on July 1 2024 and it was approved July 20 2024, no biometrics were required for me, it seems like a lot of variability in processing time is possible.
As for other timeline updates, I just received my pre-arrival letter today :) application was originally submitted May 18. But not sure if it means anything? I still see eligibility is in review in the tracker -- I'm applying in Quebec, and I've already received my CSQ on August 19th.

Is your tracker is up to date ? Mine has no update since June

sorry, I meant the gc key, I've never used the other tracker.
I think eligibility remains in review on GCKey even after you receive AIP which says they have determined you're eligible.
