When agent has passed your eligibility saying your eligibility is met but a senior officer need to do review for final pass. My eligibity is also recommended pass
Hello, how do you know your eligibility status, for me it says "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." for few months now.

Hello guys
I am biometrics exempt but it’s still showing that my finger prints have not been received.
I understand they are refunding biometrics fees...yet to receive mine
AOR July 30th
I had been in the same situation. I am biometrics exempted but it has to be done( updated) by officer manually. It happens when officer opens and look at your application. This was what agent told when I called. It took 3 months to get it updated in my case. I got AOR April 9th and they updated my biometrics on December 14th. Got biometrics refund on December 23rd . But still waiting for final approval. Everything has been passed .!

There is a higher possibility if the first agent recommended "Review Required" instead of "Recommended Passed" for eligibility. I think it depends on the notes added by the first Case Analyst. In my case, the call centre agent told me everything looks fine with the notes added and he didn't see any adverse notes from the first Case Analyst after he added "Recommended Passed".

Yes when agent recommended passed your eligibility it means everything is good as per the agent. If any red flags in eligibility the agent will not recommend pass the eligibility instead they will put under eligibility review required which is kind of concerning. Recommend pass is a good sign

Review required is not always a red flag! The agent couldn't able to take a decision and hence it's forwarded for the further review. Many review required Applicants passed their eligibility after the final officer review

Just gave them a call this morning and the agent updated me that I'm now "recommended pass" for eligibility. Criminality has not yet started and background check is still in progress.

AOR: July 17
VO: Ottawa

Based on what people have posted and what was added to the GCMS notes they ordered, red flags such as:
-Employment reference letter not dated
-Employment letter does not contain job duties
- Job duties didn't match NOC
- Case Analyst not able to find information about the employer
- Pay below the minimum national threshold for NOC chosen

Just to name a few.
