Good Question..!!
As we have filed our applications from with in the Canada, see belowe info
IN PROCESS
(A decision has not been made yet.)
Application Received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
We have received your application and will review it in order of receipt. We will send you an acknowledgement letter.
Documentation Verified by CIC
We are reviewing your application to make sure it is complete and that no documents are missing. We will return incomplete applications for resubmission.
Medical Results Received by CIC
We have received your medical results. We will contact you only if additional tests are needed.
This is as per CIC standards,
But
as far as my knowledge is concern about "in Process" status, as long as your files are NS, Sydney, it will not show in process, once they sand our files to Ottava (which means files passed initial checking, medical is okay, all docs are okay), the file status will change to "IN PROCESS"
