Hello there, I've submitted my Online Application on 22 March and still awaiting for my "Review of Eligibility" to start. Its been three weeks and it has not been started yet and I'm starting to be worried. I applied on 22nd March and gave the Biometrics on 24th March, I did the medical upfront and it was updated to my account on the 29th March (Pass) and since then nothing has been changed. As far as I know (trough research) 20 days is the max to get the review of eligibility started but I'm on day 21.
Please someone let me know why this is happening and should I be worried.

Thank you

No issue. Total processing is around 9 weeks and you only applied on March 24.

Keep hopes alive and wait. I submitted my application on 22nd Feb and Medical was updated on 6th March. The review started on the same day when medical was updated, but still no update.. Keeping hope alive and waiting for a piece of luck.

As per the timeline, SDS in 20 days is not for every application. IRCC picks the application in a mystery way. Wait till your number comes on the IRCC dice.

SDS processing has not been 20 days since before Covid so over 2 years ago.

Yes, it seems SDS processing time is not 20 days, but most people's assumptions are that an SDS application can get the results in 20 days. I believe IRCC should update the same in their portal.

Your Review started on the same day as of your Medical and mine has not that's why I feel like I'm in some type of error. And my stream is Non-SDS

There is no issue. If eligibility hasn’t started by first week of May then you may not get a response with the 9 weeks. Depends where you are applying from.

If my eligibility starts in the near future, how long to get the next step and what will the next process be? Final decision?
