Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

I just got an e-mail response from the IRCC webform I submitted 5 business days ago:
"Furthermore, you will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your application for permanent residence:
· Your application was received via your account on January 28, 2019.
· Your application is currently being processed at the local IRCC office in Montreal, Quebec.
· The responsible office has not begun verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
1. What is this "background verification"?
I'm guessing criminality check?
2. My AoR is Jan 28, no ghost updates.
Medicals passed in Feb, Biometric completed Mar 27
US resident.
The background status on my IRCC account reads, "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."
Is this what people refer to as "IP2"? It seems like the message will change to something else (IP1) when my application is moving along?
It seems like I'll be waiting a long time before I hear back about my application from reading this thread.

Thank you friend, I am just trying to be sure and want to avoid a situation where we could be denied entrance to the interview due to low space or something. It is scheduled to be in downtown Vancouver.

Thanks to all for the useful posts here. It really helped in the waiting game.

Got landing interview email today. Interview on Monday in Hamilton.
Still waiting patiently. Got a ghost update earlier this week and called next day and was told Eligibility passed but ADR request would be sent soon for consent of unaccompanying spouse. Got the form for this online. Would raise a CSE and send the documents toms.
Trying to be as patient as possible.
Congrats.
What stream are you applying for?
Do you know if landing interviews are done for FSW? Or just for CEC or PNP?
I´m asking you this because my file is also now in Hamilton (previously it was in Montreal), but still in IP2.

Mine's Jan 28, so I'm kind of in the Feb group.
I don't know where you're residence is, but I got unlucky and my file was sent to Montreal instead of Ottawa.
A lot of the US applicants getting approved quickly were processed at Ottawa, but Montreal cases seem to take about 8 months from AoR.
