Thanks. The second application's eligibility review status never changed. Even after the PPR, it still says "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements."

In the same boat. As stated previously, my PR file is complete but sitting on a desk with no DM. Applied for visitor visa Oct 12 hoping it would be faster as we have basically everything passed on PR side. My file for TRV has not even been opened yet.
I am in the same boat waiting from Sept 11

I am just trying to understand whats happening with IRCC. They are prioritizing applications that received biometrics couple of days back but applications submitted months back were placed in backlogs. Looks like they have daily target of some bunch of applications and they are processing the ones that reach their table that day. So pathetic that we stuck with this disorderly and mismanaged institution
