My guess would be that the applications are auto assigned to officers every night before a working day. Since there are about 350k+ applicants every year, it would be a huge waste of time for them to manually choose which applications they will review the eligibility of every day.
Yes I think so too but is Sunday a working day for government employees?

Nope, but Monday is. Therefore, there must be an automated job on Sunday night that assigns the applications to the officer which is also when our status on the website gets updated to reflect that the review of eligibility has started.

The latest one we can see is a person who applied on 4th May got approval today.
I applied on 6th May, I haven't received any updates yet.

I suspect that depending on how easy an application is, it determines when it gets processed. I believe if you've done an undergrad or a 2 year masters, those applications are being processed pretty quick. That is just an assumption though. As some ppl have had 30 day processing times, some 60 and some 90+.

I did 2 years technical diploma program! So I hope it will get processed quick.
