I just got a ghost update mail, but checking the profile does not show anything like whether I have passed the medicals or not. However there is a wording used like IP1 in my profile.
Can anyone confirm the following terminologies and their meanings, and inform whether there are any changes.
Different stages in PR File Processing from AOR to COPR.
AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2– (NA3) – PPR – COPR

Different stages in PR File Processing from AOR to COPR.
AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2– (NA3) – PPR – COPR
- AOR: "Acknowledgement of Receipt". - This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.
- NA1: "Not Applicable". - This will be your Background status message as soon as you submit and get AOR.
- 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: "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". - This will happen one or two days after your medical. Sometimes on the same day itself. 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: "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.
- ADR: "Additional Documents Required". - Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage.
- 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.
- COPR: "Confirmation Of Permanent Residence".
