Yeah I got emails on March 1st and 4th. Both said “We updated your application status”. But when I logged in on the 1st I couldn’t see any changes except possibly for background check which says - “we are processing your background check.”

On the 4th the email was to let me know eligibility had started (eligibility changed from - we will send you an email when we start reviewing your eligibility to “we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements”.)

Then I noticed my date of biometrics enrollment/expiry had also been added to my profile (I had them from a previous application).

Have you received any emails since you applied? And what does it say under details about your application status? Has background check or eligibility started?

Mine is a bit more complicated. I applied for study permit extension jointly with an initial sowp(spouse is in home country, so it was her initial application) I know we don't stand a very good chance especially with the recent announcement since I'm doing a diploma. But I chose to take the chance anyway. So, she took biometrics on 16th feb. It updated on portal in 17th feb. My study extension, I got one ghost update and that was it. Since then, no new updates or anything. No ghost updates, no emails, nothing still on background check.

Ah I see. Yeah I’ve heard also applying for a SOWP can lengthen the processing time a bit. Hopefully your eligibility will start soon!

Study permit extensions often take up to 6 months. You are able to continue studying on implied status. It is best to apply around 6 months before your study permit expires for a study permit extension.
