Your eligibility starts when the status change from "we'll send you a message" to "we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements...." this happens with a ghost update.I have no words about it. But when I got my first ghost update the eligibility review started. Can't remember if started just after the ghost update but these happened almost together. I didnt get anything from my second ghost update though. IRCC has made many people in the forum Holmes and predictor now, we are all trying hard to figure things out haha
Remember there's info sharing, background check, security etc.... These things might cause a ghost update when they'r completed
