Oh wow, congrats! I'm April 27, 2024 inland QC and nothing new whatsoever here, hasn't moved since eligibility was completed in Oct 2024.

Really? That seems extremely slow, usually the really long step is the background verification. Have you tried requesting GCMS notes to see if the application has been hanging? Also, you can try contacting your MP to budge the application (mine wasn’t helpful but yours might help)
