where does it states what date eligibility and background started?
I noticed mine the day it started after Background check was on-going for days. Also on the status tracker page you will see the date updated at the top right corner of the screen/ page once any update is made.

I feel so happy for you @m4r4cwz for your persistence, it has paid off, and for you @kash24newbie for finally getting your PPR after that BVL. Been watching this thread for a while, my background check turned to In Progress in June 22 (approximately your dates) so your updates fill me up with hope. Kash could you please share your visa office? Mine is Mexico so Idk if they are fast or slow

I have sent webforms in the past, I will explain you about my case. My permit had been approved in June last year but after spending the holidays in home country, I got a PFL. It was only when I received my GCMS that I realized my application was closed FOR 5 MONTHS. From January to June this year, 0 progress because of their mistake. I let my VO know and they reopened my case and asked for ADR. They did do something based on that webform. However, I have been waiting since Background Check (In Progress since June 22) and two webforms about my unjust situation and how I am at risk of deferring to no fault of my own have been unsuccessful. Mind sharing what exactly you mentioned in the webform?
