Not everyone, most yes. Background check is just indicators, you can completely ignore them and still your application will go through OK. For most it will go into IP1, but not for all.

Now as far as BG process is concerned, it will go through the below trends. I'm using new status words for your reference.

Trend 1: NA -> IP -> NA -> IP
Trend 2: NA -> NBG-> NA-> IP

Some people who are submitting RCMP along with eAPR follows Trend 2 and rest Trend 1. I may not be 100% accurate. But this is what I noticed for CEC Inlanders.
Once the applicant at IP(2), he can expect PPR anytime soon.

Regarding at what stage BG will change??

STAGE 1:: After we submit our application, the BG status would be NA and it will be there until we see a change in Medical status (Passed).

STAGE 2:: After medical update is done, then agent at CIO will change our BG to IP or NBG. Then, he will start R10 check, Criminal checks.

STAGE 3:: After the above checks are done, then he will change BG to NA and our file moved to next stage for Eligibility assessment (A11.2) . Once he/she feels that we are meeting the Eligibility then he/she will provide his/her recommendation to Visa Officer and initiate the Security Clearance. At this point only our file will be moved from CIO to CPC.

STAGE 4:: Officer at Local Visa Office (LVO) will review the recommendation, Security clearance reports. Once he/she satisfies then he/she will approve the recommendation. Then our BG will be changed to IP again. This is where PPR(Passport Request) mails triggered to applicants.

Thanks for that explanation. My status got updated in the middle of the night. Looks like its IP1 now.

Guys I need some clarification please.

Yesterday my medicals went to passed and all I remember is that my background changed from not applicable to something else. Today I got an email saying something was updated, and I couldn't see the difference. My bg message is: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Is this ip1 or ip2?

Thanks

Quick question guys, how do you know where your VO is? is that depending on where you physically are or nationality?
I am living in the Bay Area right now, which one should be my VO?
