just called today. Eligibility: Not started
Although the background check is completed, the agent mentioned that the info sharing is still in progress.
It's actually tiring to wait. My information sharing was shown as completed on the notes, though.

seriously, eligibility still not started
they could have done something in the background, but did not update the status, but this conundrum is just insane. I also suspected that since we are moved to a new office, our files could be pushed to the end of the new office's stack and that's stupid

Probably - I don't know. Have seen many recent PPRs from my current office (Etobicoke) but no updates for us :(

It's hard to be patient. I'm in a maintained status with no right to provincial health insurance, expired SIN number, etc. So basically my life is stuck until they decide to process my PR or the BOWP.
Hope you will get through this very soon.

As i am also in the similar situation having expired work permit so life is really difficult until I will get the decision of my PR or BOWP.

I am joining this thread having Vancouver visa office with AOR: 4th Dec. 2022.
Medical and biometric: passed
Eligibility: Not started
Background check: In progress

I think you can get up to 6 month extension on government documents such as OHIP, DL etc. by providing/showing your Work Permit Extension Filing Acknowledgement receipt at any Service Canada location.

Thanks! I will try again, but the Ohip agents said that I couldn't do it:(

did you send an email? or went in person? thank you so much!
In person! I remember last year when I renewed I had to send an email, but this time they told me the process changed and just showing the letter + proof of employment was enough
