So, recommended pass is worse than "met"? Then how about "review required"?
Also, here https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/when-an-agent-says-eligibility-met-does-it-mean-passed-or-recommended-passed.608530/

so people even say this:

It goes through 3 steps.
1. Assistant. R10 is ok
2. Analyst. Met.
3. Officer. Recommended passed.

Therefore, met is not the same as recommended passed.

Hm....

Also found this: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/eligibility-met-applicants-join-here.614873/

Eligibility MET: Sydney uses this term when an agent/analyst does the eligibility review.

Eligibility RECOMMENDED PASS: Ottawa uses the term when an analyst/agent does the eligibility review.

Any FSW-Outlander knows if they have passed their eligibility?
I called them two weeks ago.
According to the agent:
Criminality:
Passed
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started
Closing statement: "Everything looks good as of now".

Hi Guys,

Sailing in the same boat

AOR - March 21
Medical Passed - 5th May
Biometrics request - 5th May
Biometrics provided- 22nd May
Status updated to Completed on 23rd May
RPRF request - 27th May , Fees paid on 28th May - status changed to ‘Not Applicable’ under additional documents needed
Background check- your application is in process, we will update once we start it

I am not sure what’s the exact status of my application now, it was going smoothly till they asked for fees, hopefully they will communicate with the good news

Any Expert Opinion on the status and what to expect now

Thanks guys, Best wishes to everyone

My Background check status changed

From "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information"

To "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check."

Any explanation?

Hey everyone! Nice to see ppl getting PPR . Definitely gives hope for everyone waiting! :D
Here is my timeline:
FSW - O (India)
AOR :
March 22
MEP : May 4th
BIL: May 24th
Biometrics Submission : May 28th
Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision:
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Anyone else in the similar timeline? I have no idea in what stage this is, didnt really bother to read in depth about the stages until recently. So I dont think I read any ghost updates except for Medical passed and biometrics completed. Also any Architects/Interior designers here ?
Hi,

Thats the worst. Slows you down terribly.

Met means that the stage still needs to be "Passed" by the Visa Officer, but the Analyst recommends you meet the requirements. Met is good.

Ranking is: Passed / Met --> Recommended Pass --> Review Required

@DIG2Canada

You are in a good spot buddy. Don't worry. They asked for RPRF, that means it is progressing. Also, your BG has started recently. So you are good.

What messes with our heads is that with every little update, progress, or change, we start to think that this is it! Relax. I am assuming you are FSWO since you had to give biometrics. FSWO is taking 5-8 months right now. Way too soon to get anxious.

Also, I would get a set of GCMS notes asap to see if there is a hurdle with something so you can correct it asap. This is not specific to you, just I would get 1-2 or even 3 sets of GCMS notes. They are a great way to keep check on your progress.

I still don’t get why recommended pass is bad... if they recommending to pass then it all should be good. Hmm... this is really confusing. There are so many conflicting views on this.

In that post, I am talking about Review Required. That is bad.

Recommended Pass is not bad. Guess I did not clarify it properly.

Recommended pass is one stage before Pass. Its like you are approved but until you have the Signature it is not done. So, wait for the Signature. Therefore, it is not bad at all. It just means you have one more stage to go.
