Guys is it normal to have BGS changed to "In Progress" without medical getting updated in MyCIC account?
Thank you
 
I am forwarding the information I have got before in this forum

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

  1. BG: Not Applicable (NA1)
  2. Medical passed – (MEP)
  3. BG: In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.
  4. BG: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.
  5. BG: In Progress (IP2) –
  6. BG: Not Applicable (NA3) – Sometimes this doesn’t come
  7. PPR: Passport Request
  8. 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.


Thanks for the details explaining, Now I know what everyone else is talking about.

Just one question though. Where I would be able to see this status, on my CIC porta it just says following thing. Do I need to order GCMC Notes for this ?

Background check Not applicable.
 
Hello Everyone

What is the average time from medical passed date to PPR for PNP outland applicants?

My AOR date: 28th April

Medical Passed Date: 2nd August

BG: Not Applicable

PNP Outland

Most of the people I see are receiving their PPR in last month (6th month). So Just hang on. if you will search the forum you will realize that Feb AOR has started receiving PPR in this month.

Not yet. I am using a consultant. I will let you know if there is any change in the status.
Did they ask for any additional documents / information from you

One day after BGIP, I had received an email telling there was an updated in my CIC account, but when i checked there was nothing changed. NO MEP, no additional documents required.
Did you receive this updated email? Is it possible a ghost mail?

Hey all,

Any idea about the procedures/documents required for sponsoring our spouse?
Also, what's the plan for job hunting? Lets discuss.

Thanks,
Dino

I use a consultant and I have no access to my CIC account. I just know that BG is now "In Progress"
Regarding your email - Wait for a day / two. Sometimes they don't update the status immediately on CIC account

The ghost mail for an update is triggered mostly post update on CIC. Nothing to worry.
