Hello friends,

Does anyone know what exactly the IP2 stage ("We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.") signify? What would IRCC be processing at this point in time? Any insights will be really helpful.

While I don't know what do they process at what stage, I can tell you that not always this message means IP2. I had this message for both IP1 and IP2.

Oh, that is interesting! I didn't know that. Is there a way to tell what stage my application is in?

My background check status messages over the weeks:
  1. Your application is in progress. We'll send you a messages when we start your background check
  2. <I hadn't checked for a few days>
  3. We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
