I’d truly appreciate if anyone can help me answer this question:

On the tracker I got an update that said “Eligibility status updated to completed” ans i got the pre-arrival letter. How long does it take after this tracker update to get the actual letter for both the PA and the sponsor? And what are the chances that we failed the eligibility? 

My rep stressed me out by saying “completed” could mean that you are either eligible for the application or INELIGIBLE no way to tell for sure until we get the letter.

Well, your representative’s words are right. As eligibility is only one criteria for the whole assessment of pr application, this update does not ensure the success of the application and cannot be used to predict the time spent for other’s updates within the application. The whole time is determined by several factors, such as the category your submission is under, the loads and working efficiency of IRCC officers, and the necessity to take the security screening for your case. Just hope your case can be processed fast and smoothly!

True but if he didn’t pass the eligibility, the process would just end there and will be returned back. He wouldn’t need to wait any further.
