It's a real confusing status. On reading other threads it makes to worry, whether the status that shows "in progress" will get stuck in BG check not getting started, since this status is mostly seen for outland applicants.
Quoting legalfalcon’s comment on the whole ip1-2 etc.
“There has been a growing trend of speculation where change of status on MyCIC has been attributed to eligibility being passed, etc. The whole NA, IP IP2 is speculation and has no bearing on determining which stage your application is at. While any change of status is a good sign, but merely relying on NA and IP is not the correct way.
Most applicants will find it irrelevant, as their applications will be processed and approved within the first 3-4 months. It is those who wait for more than 4 months, where things go crazy as they keep relying on NA, IP etc, and see no movement or progress. Many other are stuck on so called IP2, and the PPR never seems to come.
So put these speculative theories to rest. As per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, regulations and the ministeral instructions every application goes through the following stages:
R10 (Completeness check)
Medicals
Criminality
A11.2 Eligibility (The most important stage)
Security”
you can find this at the start of EVERY AOR thread.

to be honest, I agree with him. The BG processing remained static for me and didn’t help me gauge where my application is at AT ALL. I got real updates from the webform and GCMS notes.
