Here is another info Goyal Ji:-
Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.
- BG Check: Not Applicable (NA1)
- Medical passed – (MEP)
- BG Check In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.
- BG Check: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.
- BG Check: In Progress (IP2) –
- BG Check: Not Applicable (NA3) – Sometimes this doesn’t come
- PPR: Passport Request
- CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence
So it is in below order
AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2 – NA3 – PPR – CoPR
AOR: This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.
NA1: “Not applicable“. This will be your BG status message as soon as you submit and get AOR. Typically, this will be status till the time you get your medical passed status.
MEP: “You passed the medical exam“. This will generally happen after approx 25-30 days after your AOR. For PNP applicants it can take more time generally.
IP1: This will happen one or two days after your medical. Sometimes on the same day itself. BG status message in this stage will be “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.”. CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel everything is good then they will change it to NA. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office).
NA2: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP1 is completed. Sometimes IP1 will take few hours and if we have not checked our account during the time it was in IP1, it won’t be possible to know that we are in NA1 or NA2. Our file will be transferred to CPC (Case Processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and same time they will initiate Security Checks.
IP2: BG status message in this stage will be “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“. Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day, PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. These things will be done at CPC office.
