IP1 before the MEP stage?

[ultimateenergy]

Dear All,

My status changed to your action is required, but there is nothing to act upon. I also have been assigned a UCI. Can anyone clarify what I should do and what stage I am in. Should I report a technical issue? I am FSW O, AOR Oct 3, I took the medical tests and eMedical was uploaded to IRCC on Sep 5.

Hi!
Yes, this is generally considered as IP1.
It's great that your application has got UCI's assigned.
Your application is already moving forward and you will probably get a decision within couple of months.

Its normal, your application is considered to be at IP1 stage and Medicals not yet passed.

 

[ultimateenergy]

Thank you for your replies! Its just strange, most people get their medicals before the IP1.

Yes, you are right, but there is a possibility of IP1 stage before MEP. In any case, only CIC knows the exact status of our application. We can only assume based on past status pattern of applicants.

Hey guys, I just received the MEP! Finally!

Did you just pass the medicals? If so you in NA1 stage, soon to be in IP1 stage. IP1 is when your background check message will change to “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.” You could also be in NA3, means you almost got the PPR. Did you follow your status updates for BG check?

Here's the whole process and the descriptions:

*AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2 – NA3 – PPR – CoPR*
*AOR*: This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.
*NA1: “Not applicable“*. 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.
*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*: 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).
*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*: 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.“. Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. PPR mail will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. PPR mails these days are taking 7-20 days after you are in IP2 stage. These things will be done at CPC office.
*NA3*: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible in 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.
*ADR*: Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage. An email, as well as message in your CIC account, will be sent.

Thanks! But I passed the medicals on sep 30th and background changed to na on Oct 10th..

So I think this is NA2 then according to your reply?

If you BG check status changed to In Progress once, then went to NA, then back to In progress, and then back to NA, means you are in NA3 stage. Then your PPR should be around the corner.

If it just happened once you are in NA2. Means you still have to wait for IP2 to start.

Yes. I think that's where I'm at. Thanks a lot for your reply.

I was wondering if you could also help me with the process time from here.

What would the approximate time be by the time I get my PPR?

You're welcome. There are several scenarios, positive, average and late.

There is a tool which can help you estimate the PPR after IP2:

And estimate IP2 after NA:

This is so cool! Thanks a ton. Is it usually accurate though?

It's based on 7000 applications that are currently being updated daily on that website. You can also add your case and help out by being part of these statistics. The more people updating it, means more precise results for everyone.
