From what I have learned from different articles and posts here "Eligibility met" is the same as "Eligibility recommended passed" and it means that the case had been reviewed by the case analyst or program assistant and was transferred to the immigration officer for the final examination. Officer can whether mark it as "passed" if everything is ok, or change it to the "review required" if they have some doubts about uploaded documents. In my situation the first examination was ok, the comments about all the documents are positive, so it's why I have "eligibility met" in my notes, but case hasn't been checked by the immigration officer yet.
I think you are right, based on the post a couple of days ago explaining Review Required (originally by legalfalcon):
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/october-2018-aor-join-here.587953/page-551#post-7826485

However, from my own timeline, here is what I think happened:
Mar 18 - All stages "recommended passed" (I thought this meant I was just waiting for PPR email, but apparently not)
Apr 17 - All stages "passed" (I think this is the stage where the officer passed all the stages and my file is now ready for final review for PPR)

What I don't understand is why if the officer changed all stages to "passed", that they did not just issue PPR on that day. I am still waiting almost a month later!

Side note: In the summary table I have been posting, I am calling "met", "recommended pass", and "passed" all the same thing - "passed" - simply because a lot of people don't know which one they are under, and it simplifies things a bit.

I don't think that means security screening.

When I called IRCC, I was told security not started.
Yeah.. it should not be.. what do you think this adding verification thing is all about?

This entire thing is so disheartening. Been waiting for more than 7 months and nothing has changed. Does additional verification mean review required or security screening? According to my gcms notes and the call centre agent, eligibility was met long ago.

Additional verification can be that your security has been referred to CSIS if your eligibility was cleared. You can order CSIS notes for the update

I don't think so. As for my case, security hasn't been even started yet according to GCMS and eligibility was met in December. I think, a lot of
delays are due to the massive backlog in Ottawa and 7-8 months is a normal processing time now
Did you order CBSA and CSIS notes to check what is going in with your security

How do I do that & how long will it take to receive it?
Link is provided in my sig, it takes 35-40 days because it comes in a CD to the third party. But that will be disclosing under which stage you are primary /final / not yet started.

What if background check not even started. Any use if ordering CSIS report?
