most probably , end of September... I have heard school sessions start there in September.. Need to get my son's admission done.. He will turn 5 , this October..
Since you are already there, any tips or suggestions regarding job and school admissions will be of great help.. At present I work as a financial analyst (NOC 1112) in India...

I don't have much knowledge about schools. But I think schools start first week of September. Where are you planning to land??

What was the wording of Ip1/ip2 there? Did it change to NA?

It went from "Application in progress" to "Background is next"one to straight "Background check in progress" from Jul 4th to Jul 7th.

Okay now, U.S applicants are reporting this status change. You are in IP2. But IP2 is taking longer for U.S applicants as compared to other FSWO.
Now all depends here on your case individually, maybe it is cleared soon and you get a PPR next week. Otherwise in maximum 15-20 days you will be getting PPR as per May timelines, IMO. As per tracker no US applicant of may has received PPR yet. So I think you will have to wait a little while.

Guys a good explanation from a member posted a long time ago:

There are two different things. Application status remains in process until we complete stamping.

Regarding BG status - It will go through different stages and let me try to make it clear to you to avoid any further confusion.

Prior to March 7, CIC used to maintain the below BG status.
1. Not needed at this time (NN)
2. Not Started (NS)
3. In Progress (IP)

After March 7, they paraphase the above status as follows.

1. Not Applicable (NA) ( Old Status :: NN)
2. Next to step to conduct BG Check (NBG) (Old Status : NS)
3. In Progress (IP)

People in the threads are using the above status interchangeably. So, don't get confused.

Now as far as BG process is concerned, it will go through the below trends. I'm using new status words for your reference.

Trend 1: NA -> IP -> NA -> IP
Trend 2: NA -> NBG-> NA-> IP

Some people who are submitting RCMP along with eAPR follows Trend 2 and rest Trend 1. I may not be 100% accurate. But this is what I noticed for CEC Inlanders.
Once the applicant at IP(2), he can expect PPR anytime soon.

Regarding at what stage BG will change??

STAGE 1:: After we submit our application, the BG status would be NA and it will be there until we see a change in Medical status (Passed).

STAGE 2:: After medical update is done, then agent at CIO will change our BG to IP or NBG. Then, he will start R10 check, Criminal checks.

STAGE 3:: After the above checks are done, then he will change BG to NA and our file moved to next stage for Eligibility assessment (A11.2) . Once he/she feels that we are meeting the Eligibility then he/she will provide his/her recommendation to Visa Officer and initiate the Security Clearance. At this point only our file will be moved from CIO to CPC.

STAGE 4:: Officer at Local Visa Office (LVO) will review the recommendation, Security clearance reports. Once he/she satisfies then he/she will approve the recommendation. Then our BG will be changed to IP again. This is where PPR(Passport Request) mails triggered to applicants.

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Fellas,

My BG check says In Progress and I just received my 2nd PDF of GCMS where the notes dated June 8, 2017 states R10 OK MI2 A11.2 - Appears Met R87.1: CEC Minimum Requirements - Appears Met Ready to Finalize RPRF: Complete.

Can someone please tell me if this all sounds right? And any idea why is it taking so long at BG check (in progress since May 18).

What's the analyst recommendation on the file?

Yep, I'm CEC inland. I hadn't been too stressed until the past week, when I kept seeing this flurry of PPR posts on here. I know every file is different, and I haven't hit 90 days yet, but the wait has still got me biting my fingernails.
