Post-AOR Step By Step

Hi everyone

I recently found this online and I felt I needed to share this. Please note this is not my work so please check out their website if you're looking for more info. Hope this helps you as it's helped me:

BG Check and medical status and its meaning post-AOR


Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.

1. BG Check: Not Applicable (NA1)
2. Medical passed – (MEP)
3. BG Check In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.
4. BG Check: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.
5. BG Check: In Progress (IP2) –
6. BG Check: Not Applicable (NA3) – Sometimes this doesn’t come
7. PPR: Passport Request
8. CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence

So it is in below order

AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2 – NA3 – PPR – CoPR

AOR: This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.

NA1: “Not applicable“. This will be your BG status message as soon as you submit and get AOR. Typically, this will be status till the time you get your medical passed status.

MEP: “You passed the medical exam“. This will generally happen after approx 25-30 days after your AOR. For PNP applicants it can take more time generally.

IP1: This will happen one or two days after your medical. Sometimes on the same day itself. BG status message in this stage will be “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.”. CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel everything is good then they will change it to NA. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office).

NA2: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP1 is completed. Sometimes IP1 will take few hours and if we have not checked our account during the time it was in IP1, it won’t be possible to know that we are in NA1 or NA2. Our file will be transferred to CPC (Case Processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and same time they will initiate Security Checks.

IP2: BG status message in this stage will be “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“. Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day, PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. These things will be done at CPC office.

Generally messages will be like below in IP2 status:

NA3: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible is many cases and direct PPR request is placed from IP2.

PPR: Passport Request. You will get an email for that and you may not get an update in your CIC account for this.

ADR: Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage. An email, as well as message in your CIC account, will be sent.

Can you tell me which stage am i in ?? It says that i don't need a medical exam yet. But the background check says: we are processing your background check. We will send you a message if this changes.

Hi,

MY AOR is 28th Feb. On 8th March I got the email for Medical passed. And my Background status message is shown as "We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information" . I can see exactly the same status what you are showing the status for IP2.
Can you please comment what might have happened here. I don't see any reason for skipping any steps in between.

@nhabib @Walle2017
I am from Bangladesh and my position is the same here. I have applied on 20th August 2018 and received AOR within an hour of submission. After that haven't got any update, even did not pass the medical. But my status showing pretty same with you " we are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information". i don't understand which stage i am now.

@Tuba
Mine is the same. But I think this looks like we are in the IP2 stage, but i don't know how this happens. As per message status in various stage, this message means your application in the IP2 stage as well as mine. But still, i did not pass the medical.

My AOR is of august 27th

The only two statuses that I see in progress are we are processing your background checks and that we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. There is no status for medical as yet. What stage am I on??

You are on the very initial stage of getting medicals assessed. Wait for another week and you should get your medicals. After that, you will have to submit your fingerprints. Once complete you will move to IP2 stage.

Hi all,

I was in IP1 until 10 days ago (5 months since ITA). Then I got a request for additional documents, which I submitted quickly. I moved to IP2 upon submission. My questions are the following:

1- on the home login screen, under current status, it says ‘submitted’, I think it was something else before.

2- I do not receive mail at home, once in a while it gets stolen (don’t ask!). My question is, should I update my address? Will cic always email/ghost update my online profile prior to sending out a ppr?

Thank you, and good luck to all!

If possible can you please let me know, what are the documents they requested from you? And what was the reason?

You are in IP1 stage...Ideally, you'll have to wait till end of October or early November to receive your PPR. Currently, IRCC is working on June AORs.

Regarding the status of the Medical Examination, this is the initial stage and it does not mean you do not need a medical exam. Once you have passed your medical examination (this will take around 20-25), the status will get changed to Medical Examination Passed.

AOR was 8th of June, I received the updated on the Medical Tests etc. on 4th of July and have received no update after that. I made the EE Application when I was in Delhi, but now I'm a student in Toronto (I made the Student Visa Application after the PR Application and I'm a student here since 23rd August). Could someone guide me as to how long it might take for me to receive a PPR (assuming my Application is at NDVO)? Also, do all Applications made from Delhi automatically go to NDVO, how do I find out which office my Application has gone to. I have sent a few emails as well to the Delhi immigration email id, indicating my address and country has changed but have not received any reply from them. Could someone please advise as to inform them about my address/country change?

Thank you so much.
