Until Processing officer mark "Eligibility Complete", it will remain in review but wont stop other subsequent actions such as Security, BGC, Criminality or Medical to be marked as "Complete". I have seen cases, where eligibility remain open and closed on the last final approval. So it is normal...
but why to pass security and spend time and resources doing that if basic eligibility has not been passed yet? that is what I have seen as trend as follows

Bio and Medicals passed (linked in GC key)
Criminality same time as based of PCC
then eligibility if its recommended pass then moves to security as often security is last step.

I had for almost 7 months security not started status when Eligibility under Review this is true for other review required applicants per their GCMS notes security has not been started since eligibility is under review.

security does by CBSA/CSIS so logically why to get security report if applicant is not even clear the eligibility stage this does not make sense to pass everything except Eligibility.

I cant answer the "why", but i do agree sometimes it doesnt make any sense..Eligibility means correct visa was applied, and should be passed at the same officer input data in gcms, but doesnt seem to be happening all the time. For online application, imo regardless of what application, it will trigger other reviews because everything has been mapped on parameters. In my situation, eligibility was under review when i received pre-arrival, and never received any correspondence regarding eligibility passed....

Hello Everyone,

I would appreciate your feedback on my situation, my PR application just exceeded normal processing time (23 months) on 13/Oct/2023.
Here is the complete timeline:
  • we received your application on 12/Nov/2021
  • we started working on your application 8/Jun/2022
  • Eligibility Passed 15/Mar/2023
  • Invitation to Pre-Arrival Services 16/Mar/2023
I called IRCC, all steps were complete except security check (which started on June/2022)
I asked my MP to check, and he got back yesterday saying that my application is non-routine and normal processing time doesn't apply. What does that mean?

I searched a little bit on different forums here and I started to freak out, I thought I would share my experience and ask if anyone has faced something similar and what can be done about such cases? Can a lawyer help?
I’m in the same position applied September 2022 I’ve been waiting 27 months now MP told me last month that my application is non-routine. Have you gotten feedback on your application?
