Yesterday I received my GCMS. The final decision has not been made yet but I did notice that under the application section, the Eligibility changed from Failed to Recommend Interview as below:

APPLICATION
APPLICATION: 1
Field Name: Eligibility
Action:Updated
Old Value: Failed
New Value: Recommend Interview
Office: CPC-Ottawa

APPLICATION: 2
Field Name: Eligibility
Action:Updated
Old Value:
New Value: Failed
Office: CPC-Ottawa

The Assessment is Recommend Interview as well. What can this possibly mean? Im so confused! Please help!

It's a refusal still in queue, you will be informed.

Previously it was Failed. Why didnt they just refuse me but changed to recommend interview instead? I don't understand..
Lots of workload at the visa office, they are very slow in their ways. Especially at CPC Ottawa, I have recently noticed a trend where they release refusals in big batches. This "Recommended interview" is initiated by the case analyst and the final assessment is done by the VO. Usually for getting the eligibility passed it advances from "Recommended passed" or sometimes "Review required" but it very rarely goes from "Recommend Interview" to "Passed".

Not true, plenty of recommend interview change to passed. It's the failed one that's concerning me. Maybe the officer made a mistake or clicked the wrong thing. Anyhow it's not a refusal until you're "refused"
Really? Cuz I asked around and many people say its a signal of refusal which made me really depressed.
And yeah, I also feel nervous about the Failed. But somehow it changed to Recommend Interview. I hope it's a good sign.

Do you know what his Assessment is? It's located in the second page. Mine is Recommend Interview.

Wonder whats the hurry to move to Canada from the US. That's a serious downgrade.
