I applied for TRV within Canada after study permit extension online on Aug 16 and still haven't gotten PPR. The status says it's reviewing my eligibility tho. Should I be worried since the published processing time is 15 days and I'm way over that ?

I don't think I ever received any sort of document from IRCC within the listed processing time. You're like one week over the listed time - assuming 15 days means "calendar" days and not "business" days - and it's not even the scale at which IRCC delays operate. FWIW I applied online on Aug 11 and my status is "we'll let you know once we start reviewing your eligibility", so you're actually one step ahead.
Should you be worried? Probably not, unless you need to travel within a month.

I see. Im worried mostly cuz I recently discovered that I had a name change in my childhood and I never declared it during my past study permit and TRV applications and I'm only declaring that in the application form for this TRV application. I'm just afraid of this messing up the TRV application somehow :(

Hi guys, I just wanted to share my case and see if there is anybody in similar circumstances. So, after receiving my PGWP, I applied online for the 'Visitor Visa from Inside Canada' TRV on August 12. I don't remember the exact date but they updated the application to "Reviewing whether you meet eligibility" pretty soon (within 10 days I believe). But after that, nothing! It has been a month now but my passport request has not arrived. I raised a webform explaining that I need to travel outside of Canada but no reply yet.

Anybody with similar experiences or anybody who applied around that time and received responses? Thank you.

Have some patience. I think they're now taking a 1 month or longer to process TRVs. When you get your PPR though, you should plan 3 weeks or more to get your passport back, unless it's urgent to travel then you can always use your county's VFS to send the passport for stamping (please call/research to be sure this is possible). They made me wait an extra 21 days to get my passport and I wish I've taken the VFS approach.
