I applied from India and couldn't submit my biometrics because of VACs closure. I don't need to do medicals since I am a returning student. My previous permit got expired a week ago. I am surprised that my eligibility review hasn't been started yet even though I applied back in April. Anyone applied from India whose eligibility review has already been started?
from which location you applied?

from which country you're applying? I am wondering since I applied more than a month before you (non-sds) and still they haven't started my eligibility review.
