Is getting an update on GC website but not on application tracker normal ? My tacker is still stuck on April 19 Biometrics completed and background check started but checked GC website yesterday and i noticed that under Eligibility it says "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" knowing that i did not get an email update. Is this normal, the discrepancy between 2 portals ? Does that mean my application is moving ?
mine's opposite.. Eligibility showing as Completed on tracker but GC Key says the same like yours

Based on all my research across this forums, reddit, other websites you can't really have solid answers to anything happening! There is no standard timeline or updates, you just guess what's happening based on previous experiences with others.

It seems there isnt a single source of truth for these trackers, each is showing data from different sources which is crazy. Anyway, based on what I've seen if eligibility shows as completed then your application will probably be approved in some time, so good luck with that!

well I hope you're right. Anxiously waiting for some update now since it has been 28 weeks without a decision!

An update for me, After i mentioned that 2 days ago GC key website showed eligibility in progress while tracker was stuck, just today the tracker got update to eligibility in progress. Now my theory is, tracker is lagging behind GC key website. So anything showing there will end up in tracker in some time. (just a theory given my experience). I think now there is only waiting.

was watching a couple of Youtube Videos of people's GC key portals with accepted applications. Both eligibility and background check stay in progress in GC key website even after the decision is made, so your eligibility is passed and the tracker is more accurate here, just a matter of time it seems till PPR, not sure why the delay. Just wanted to let you know what I noticed, Good luck again!
