It's probably IP1. Did you just pass medicals?

The write-up below was posted by someone a while ago. I can't remember who or even find the link now.

APPLICATION STAGES
I have actually been intending to make a post regarding this but never had the time. For all post ITA folks that have been wondering what the heck the acronyms mean. The below post sheds more light on the is and shows the timeline. Here we go

Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR): This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application. It is a templated letter saying that your application is submitted with the application number mentioned. Applicants may use this to apply for a Bridge of Work (BOW) [/b]permit, if applicable.

Background Check "Not Applicable" (NA1): 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.

[b]Medical Passed (MP or MEP) : Your medical exam statues will change to “You passed the medical exam“. This will generally happen after approx 15-30 days after your AOR (there has been recent stories here of people getting their medical passed sooner, So this is a ballpark figure). For PNP applicants it can take more time generally. So don't be alarmed.

Background Check "In Progress" (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). At this stage they only check for all documents and that whether the applicant is not missing any documents. The documents are not scrutinized at this stage, except for Police Clearance certificate (dates, and period is covered based on your answers from the Personal and Travel History); Additional docs (like Schedule A, Travel History, Family Info, Proof of something, etc.) may be requested at this stage. NB Additional Document Request = ADR

Background Check "Not Applicable" (NA2):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 (VO) and same time they will initiate Security Checks. usually happens between 1-2 months from eAOR. This stage is where applicants' first phase of A11.1 Eligibility and documents are checked by the CIO. At this stage the agent checks if the points match, are above the round's ITA points, eligibility under the stream is met, points are claimed genuinely and if there are no irregularities in the documents or work experience, NOC, etc. After this the application is sent to the Local Visa Office (LVO) for finalization and second checks.

Background Check "In Progress" (IP2):Background (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.“. This is the stage wherein the LVO opens the file to check your entire application and confirm the notes and insights from the CIO agent. Eg. proof of funds, letter of employment, if any; This usually happens after all the security, criminality and eligibility is all okay. and at around the 2-4 months mark from the eAOR. PPR mail will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front (or be requested if no upfront payment was made). PPR mails these days are taking 7-20 days after you are in IP2 stage. All these things will be done at CPC office.

Background Check "Not Applicable" (NA3): This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible in most cases (except you are refreshing your browser every seconds) and direct PPR request is placed from IP2.

Passport Request (PPR) : This is the email which every applicant stresses and waits for, it is also known as The Golden Email. This means the officer is satisfied and has approved your application also has requested your passport (if needed) or photocopy of passport (if from visa-exempt country) along with 2 photos and annex A form, to stamp the Immigrant Visa and issue the CoPR - Confirmation of Permanent Residency(a letter serving proof that you are a PR). It is this letter used for "landing" at the border and in officially becoming a Permanent Resident. This letter is later also used for citizenship application (if applicable).

I hope all post ITA applicants benefit from this. I have managed to bolden the useful abbreviations.

Counting my blessings one step at a time, as I go on this journey.
I have been waiting, wondering and hoping that the ongoing strike should be resolved, so that the further verification requested by WES from Uniport can be treated. I have even thought of cancelling the BSc part, as the MSc had been accepted recently. The former has been pending for over 6 months.
Last night, I received a mail from WES, stating "This is to advise you that we have received all required documents. We will now begin to prepare your evaluation report."
I logged in on my WES account, and it's same as the email received.
I called on my twin immediately to know if the strike has been called off, or probably they treated it. He says the strike is still on, and he has not even submitted the bank teller for the extra charges Uniport requested for, so that they can treat the request.
Well, I am amazed and I chose to share this, to encourage everyone. It might not be epic as receiving PPR mail, but it's one step achieved in my plans.
In between, I'm still wondering how it happened. What caused them to change and decide to move on with my evaluation?

Congratulations on your PPR @dtush and congrats to all ITA recepients!!

Congrats Dtush and Favoredme on your PPR, and all ITA recipients, its ending in praise already!

dtush:

Wow! Congrats sis!

IP1.

@ITAbabe, @Dannio, @Tbaby2015 and @Toyogirl, may your golden mail fall on you soon. Amen!

Thanks for this. I am in IP2 because mine says we are processing your background check,it’s only surprising because I didn’t get to see IP1 and NA.

[quote author=dtush post=65271549]I dont even know where to start to show my appreciation to my creator.

That is how i woke up 4am jejely to read. Just had an itch to check my email. There it was lying since 3:02pm yday, a mail to check my account.

Lo and behold, it was PPR. didnt believe it at first, call a friend who has received PPR to help me confirm.

Congratulations!!!

Ehiobe:
IP2 since Jan 9th. i thought after few days in IP2 PR mail comes.

Have you ordered your GCMS notes? If not, try to do so. By the way, the stages are just assumptions and not applicable to all applicants.

Femicrux:
Please, how does one go about getting a police clearance certificate from Nigeria while being overseas? Anyone who knows someone that has been in this situation before?

Read this.

tbaby2015:


Your post gave me hope just now. Same ITA and AOR period. Pray that mine lands today as well.

Yours is next! Amen!!!

Big congrats to FavouredMe and dtush and to all the ITA recipients.

I am impatiently waiting for my ielts results to be out tomorrow. The thought of it alone makes my stomach rumble�

Please guys I will like to confirm something. Does it matter the country the Nigerian PCC is addressed to?? e.g my Nigerian pcc states Australia, but I want to use it for Canada.

My dear, you sef check this your kweshun naa. C'mon will you goan do another one with "CANADA" boldly typed in front!

I don't think it really matters.... The main thing is the content. But if it wont cost you a lot to have a new one done then please do a new one.

Don't know sha. A friend's brother's application was rejected cos he used PCC he used for a US immigration application for his EE application. Don't know if that's the only reason though but that's what she told me.

My dear circumstances vary amongst us. Some folks started with Australian PR before porting Canadian PR. Someone did the pcc for me, hence my asking if it an issue or not.

Oh wow, really? maybe it was expired already or something If thats the reason then the VO must be a very wicked somborri

I reason it that if letters and documents addressed to 'Who it may concern' are accepted, then the PCC should also be accepted.
