Based on the information you’ve provided, here’s an overview of your situation and some insight into what might be happening:
1. “We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements”:
This means your application is in the eligibility review stage. IRCC is currently evaluating whether you meet the criteria for the program under which you applied. Since you’re an Inland PNP applicant, they’re reviewing factors like your nomination, job offer (if applicable), and compliance with the program’s specific conditions.
2. GCKey/Tracker Issues:
It’s common for individuals whose applications are submitted via representatives (e.g., attorneys) to face difficulties linking their applications to their GCKey accounts or tracker. This happens because some information might not perfectly match what the system requires, or because access is restricted due to the representative being the primary contact. Unfortunately, until your representative shares updates with you or you receive emails from IRCC directly, the hotline bot is your best tracking option.
3. Next Steps/Timelines:
• Inland PNP applications typically take around 10-12 months from submission to finalization, though timelines can vary.
• Since you received your AOR in June 2024, you’re about 5 months into the process.
• Eligibility review can take several weeks to months, depending on the complexity of your file and IRCC’s processing speed.
• The next major update might be Background Check in Progress or Final Decision (if eligibility, security, and admissibility are cleared without additional steps)
4. No Medicals/Biometrics Needed:
If the bot confirms that no further action is required for medicals, biometrics, documents, or interviews, that’s a good sign that you’ve cleared those stages.
What You Can Do:
• Contact Your Attorney: Ensure they are actively monitoring your file for updates, as representatives often receive direct communication from IRCC.
• Call IRCC Directly: If you’d like more clarity, you can speak to an agent during business hours (8 AM–4 PM local time) by following the prompts after calling the hotline.
• Remain Patient: It’s common for applications to remain in “eligibility review” for weeks or even months without visible updates. If there’s no request for further information or documents, it usually means things are proceeding as expected.
