I am in exactly the situation as yours. My eligibility review started the same day as the medical passing through ghost update. It's been 22 days since the ghost update and still waiting. People here say that eligibility review is the final and sometimes a time taking process. It might be fast or slow but depends on our application. Nevertheless, a decision would be there soon but not sure how it would be. You may rise a web form after 10 or 15 days to remind IRCC about your application.

Oh good, what were they? No progress on my application as well
Ghost updates are informally referred to as change of application status from "Submitted" to "Application/Profile update". However, it doesn't change anything in the application, but just an indication that a visa officer is working on an application. This based on people who experienced this while waiting for a decision for their application. Hopefully, you might as well get these updates soon, meaning someone is working on your application.
