Thanks for this thread, I'm afraid that I am part of it.
I have been stuck in IP1 (we will send you a message when we start your BG check) for 60 days now.

Please find my timeline below:
- 29/8 AOR
- 20/10 IP1/ADR/medicals passed
- 9/11 Application processed in Paris visa office
- 20/11 AD uploaded
Also, I am currently waiting for my GCMS notes.

Is it a good sign that my application was already transferred to Paris?

Thank you :)
Its certainly not a bad sign. They transfer applications based on workload and geographic location. Your background check hasn't started yet which means your criminality it's still being processed. You'll know for sure when you get the gcms notes. BG check is the lengthiest part of the process so hang tight. Good luck.

I cant know the time of medical passed im my time line ..thank u for reply
Well, you can check the date of your email that says when the status was updated, that's about it. No other way to know when you passed them unless you order the GCMS notes.

Guys - just to let you know, I checked my account and moved to Ip2. I did not see Na2 (although checking my account regularly).

I saw someone in the forum saying that if you have an ADR, you might not see Na2 and go directly from Ip1 to Ip2.. that happened to me.
How do you know you are in 1p2 both ip1 and ip2 seem the same don't they

That is a long wait! I have been in IP1 for the past 5 weeks and its driving me crazy ... let me guess, you did not submit the PCC upfront?
I submitted FBI PCC upfront, but my Colombian PCC only after they asked for it (because thats how it works with Colombia) but my Review of Additional Documents section changed the next day to We do not need additional documents, and two days ago to NA. So confusing!

it is due to latest maintenance happen on 27th Feb. after that they change some sentences. so before it was" We do not need any documents" and now it is "Not Applicable".

My BG is stuck in " Additional Documents Are Being Reviewed" since Jan 23, 2018. I did not submit my PCC upfront and I got an extension for 60 days on Jan 11, 2018. Is it true that they will come back to my application only when the 60 day period is over no matter even if I have submitted my PCC already?

Doubt it. My extension deadline is way past, yet I'm still stuck in IP1.

I've been on IP1 too, for 10+ weeks now - It has been 3 weeks since submitting FBI PCC. AD status has been "being reviewed" since 24h of PCC upload.

I just got off the phone with a CIC agent. He told me I already passed elegibility although my CIC profile still shows im in IP1 stage.
Very cool! Congratulations. I had raised a CSE and got the following response:

We verified the information you provided and are pleased to inform you that everything appears to be in order with the application. It is still within the regular processing times.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.


I wonder if it means similar to what IRCC told you :)
