Wanted to know what happens at the
1)NA after IP1
This is the stage where CIC agents at CIO (Centralized Intake Office) might completed their validations (R10, Criminal, A11.2 (Eligibility Assessment)) etc. IN general, once everything is done, they will provide recommendation with regards to eligibility to visa Officer at LVO (Local Visa Office - Ottawa). They will also initiate Security clearance. Thereafter your file will transferred to Visa Office for final decision.
2)IP2 stage after NA
Once Visa officer starts reviewing the file, he may probably look for the below things.
- Initial recommendation about your Eligibility from CIO office and other clearance results such as R10, Criminal etc
- Security Clearance - To make sure that you don't have any links with criminal / terrorists grous etc.
After he feels, everything looks pretty good, then he will approve your application. This is the stage where we will see our BG change from NA to IP (2). Once we are at this stage, we can expect PPR at any moment.
Hope I have answered your queries.
