UPDATE: first update since February 14

RECAP:
Applied on January 12, 2022 (IRCC Portal)
Biometric Request: Jan 13, 2022
Biometric Completed: Jan 24, 2022
Eligibility review started: Feb 04 (I know this because I got GCMS notes last month)
No update since Feb 04, nothing on the portal and nothing in the GCMS notes after Feb 04, 2022
UPDATE:
July 14, Received Biometrics Validity letter
Message "we are reviewing your eligibility" was replaced by older message "we will let you know once we start reviewing your eligibility"

NOTE:
this was the first application in Jan 2022, since then my father came to the US as a visitor and we sent a new application because it was 2 months over the normal processing time In India. Here is the status for that: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/visitor-visa-from-usa-june-2022-timeline.771161/post-10131805

We have also surpassed the normal processing times in US as well.

He has held visitor Visa before and travelled to Canada. This is a renewal.

My Dad's now mad at Justin Trudeau lol
Update:

July 14: application withdrawn

I am not sure this happened because the US application had some progress or the Indian application finally came in progress and they decided to withdraw it after seeing the US application

Hi I have two application applied as well - One from India (April 6th) and then from USA (May16th) as I travelled to USA on visitor visa between these two dates. I have not heard anything on both.
Can you please share which application was withdrawn in your case and potentially what was the reason you believe? You received approval on any?

None of the application is withdrawn yet.
I am still waiting for it to be withdrawn.
