Yes, that is what it means.

I think the applications (Backlogs) are processed in bulk, there was a memo to that effect in January, 2023.

I am just puzzled how these will be done (processing in bulk)

Tunmiiee:
I submitted my application since last year Feb and eligibility review started last week Friday but the passport i applied with has expired, please I would like to ask if this is going to have a negative impact on my application

bellz23:

Hello everyone,
I have a bit of a dilemma and i would like anyone who has been in this situation or knows anyone to please help out. I graduated back in June 2022 and applied for my Post Graduate Work Permit in July 2022 while i was in Canada. In September 2022 i had to come back to Nigeria due to a family emergency. While i was away, my work permit was approved. Now i am ready to go back but i don't have a valid visa. What can i do in this situation? Thank you.

Did you check the present status of the 2020 application for the TRV

ChiKen2027:
I applied through the privacy act route on the 7th of February 2023 and got my GCMS note on March 11, 2023. I can't make any sense of what is there though. I applied on June 30, 2022.

josephb:
Did you check yours?

As your Eligibility started?
I note that you applied in April, 2021.

josephb:
Hi,

The decision is solely with IRCC, it may take days, weeks or month(s).

When did you apply and when did your Eligibility start?

Regards,

mizGene:

Yes I did. It has been on reviewing eligibility status for a good while now..

josephb:
Since when?

mizGene:

I honestly don't know cos I wasn't looking out for that, I feel like it has been like that since 2021 ish.....I have sent some mails and updated my expired docs via Web form...I give them until month end, then I will reapply.
Luckily I'm in the UK and I see the average application time is 30days here.

josephb:
It states We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements?

Is that what you have exactly?

Yeah, you can give till month end, you need not cancel the current but you can reapply from where you reside now.

mizGene:

Yes, that is what it states.....
That is the plan...I really don't want to reapply if I can help it. I find the Canadian visa application the most tedious and annoying visa application to put together with all the details they ask for....
