After you have submitted an application, does the Review of Eligibility section have to change to "pass" before CIC will start actually reviewing documents submitted, medicals etc? Or does this section remain "review in progress" for the whole 6 months that they are processing your application? How long did it take for Review of Eligibility to change to Pass for people? Thanks

Below timeline should answer your question. It does not change to passed until your application is completed.

I called CIC help line on 22 of April and they told me to ignore. To be on safer side, I raised "Case Specific Enquiry" on April 23rd. Waiting for the reply on this.
