You are too early in the process. Have patience. It takes 8-10 months to an application to process. The eligibility status will show this until the decision is made and the BGC will change 2-3 times.

The general processing times for all programs have increased. As per the 2019 annual report the average time now is 8-9 months, and this was pre-covid.

<https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...nuals/express-entry-year-end-report-2019.html>

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?
Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Table 35: Processing Times for Express Entry applications finalized by year and immigration category, in months

Program	2017	2018	2019
Canadian Experience Class	4	5	7
Federal Skilled Worker	4	6	9
Provincial/Territorial Nominee	6	6	9
Federal Skilled Trades	6	7	12
All Programs	5	5	8

Subsequent to this, IRCC also published the evaluation of Express Entry upon the completion of 5 years of express entry in May 2020. A lot of recommendation have been made in it.

Thanks, I was worried as I saw most people around my timelines got their BIL and Medical. but Applications remained still. There is not even a progress bar

Around a week or so. And thats not true, they do say that we need to wait 6 months,but you can still raise a webform just like you can call them and ask them. They may also give a generic reply sometimes. You can go ahead and try.
But do specify your questions like this:

Is my eligibility passed?
Is my criminality passed?
......

Good luck!

My AOR is Sep 19th but eligibility is still in progress. My file is also in Sydney, only difference my stream is CEC. It will make difference in timelines. When is the right time to call IRCC to get eligibility status.

If you don't even have a progress bar, then your application has not even start processing.
