Eligibility: Recommended passed/met mean the same thing - that an agent or analyst has reviewed your documents, and recommends to the visa officer that you should pass eligiblity. The next step is usually done at the visa office (or CPC-Ottawa) by the visa officer, who does one more check, and marks eligibility as passed. This is usually the point at which your background check goes to In Progress at the second time. If your case is straightforward, the PPR is usually received same day or next day - however, if you come from a country such as mine, or if your background is a little more complicated, background check may take much longer than that
