November 2018 AOR - Join here

[seeramzan]

For candidates who are required to give Biometric scan, the BG status usually is 'We are processing your background check' from the very beginning without any change in MEP.

So it means its normal, by the way i applied from Saudi Arabia and previous candidates no one given the biometric

Post AOR :

Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.

BG: Not Applicable (NA1)
Medical passed – (MEP)
BG: In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.
BG: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.
BG: In Progress (IP2) –
BG: 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 – IP3 – 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.

NA3: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible is many cases and direct PPR request is placed from IP2.

PPR: Passport Request. You will get an email for that and you may not get an update in your CIC account for this.

ADR: Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage.

An email, as well as message in your CIC account, will be sent.

May be this message needs to be available for reference as was unable to understand the signatures in all threads...
Thanks allot.

So background checking will start after MEP?

I am not really sure but most likely.

Hi @SithLord just saw your signature and your AOR was on Nov2nd does this mean we have somewhat similar timeline to get a PR.

WOW!! We both are kind of similar timeline Yes, guess it look like we are on same boat

you meant 1st week of Nov.? And also medicals have mostly been cleared in about 25-27 days....not sure if they are doing them any quicker

 

[smash1984]

sorry, yes, i meant 1st week of Nov.

The timeline had gotten very bad. It had gone on to more than a month a week ago or so. I think they caught up or something

Has anyone found which VO is processing your application?

Has anyone found which VO is processing your application?

Not me atleast. I thought we could only find this out after we clear Our IP2 or when they ask for our Passports to print the PR.

Is there any other way to find it out sooner and be sure of it ?
