I got an email saying we updated your application status. Final decision- before it was..we are processing your application. Today it changes to your application is in progress.
Not sure about 'Final Decision'. I have seen status changing of 'Background check'.
My 'Final decision' if i remember correctly has always been
- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
Simple applications have few things to verify: no PCC needed, simple travel history, Canadian education only, Canadian work experience only, no dependants...
Without having to verify your foreign credentials and work experience, it only takes a quick CRA search and perhaps a call to your employer to check the veracity of your work experience in Canada. Same with education, they can just contact the college and check your student record.
Not sure if they have any algorithm to automate this classification of simple\complex. I will assume an officer will open the file and then park that application aside if he sees there are many documents uploaded to verify. IRCC's definition of a complex application is different

Mine is technically simple, meeting the criteria above. I got AOR on May 20th and passed my medical yesterday.
After the automatic machine I pressed 0, I wanted about 35 mins, I called sometime between 9-10. My background is "we are processing your background...." the day after medical was passed I received one email saying I have an update but I saw no changes.
The day after medical I got got an email saying there is an update but when I checked I saw no changes. "We are processing your background...."
