Hi nelsenjay. Thanks for sharing your timeline. Are you currently in the Philippines? May I know why you opted for non-SDS instead of SDS? Also, do you have an idea about the processing time for SDS and how much is needed to apply?

Hi nelsenjay. In my case, there was no email when my eligibility review started. It's always a ghost update. Even when biometrics got verified and medicals passed, there are no emails notifications from IRCC. I also found out about the updates when I logged in to my account.
Would you mind sharing your college/university and which program are you going to take?

Hello! I added additional Letters of Support and Bank statements after my letter of explanation. I wanted to be extra sure that funds will not be looked at as a potential setback.
