I am bit confused here now. I am CEC inland with dependent inland. Background check status got updated to "Your application in progress". Based on other threads, BG status changes to "in progress" only if we are FSW -O. For CEC inland, it will be the same from AOR "we are processing".
Now, I am bit worried if BG will not be started thinking I am fsw-o.

@legalfalcon , need your inputs here please.

All applications go though the BGC, and the status will change 2-3 times.

BGC = Criminality + Security.

To read on security, and the security screening manual see: https://bit.ly/3djGTMB

Thank you @legalfalcon . Actually, this thread confuses me.

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/application-stages-what-they-mean-mep-ip1-ip2-ghost-update-version-2019.612656/

Especially this line:

Ghost Update #1 or Real IP1 - "In progress" 1: Background Check changes to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." Usually follows MEP. Some applicants (especially Inland and CEC) skip this stage. You should receive an email for your Real IP1 - the email will not provide any details, just that your application has been updated.

does it matters still ?

Thank you @caipsnotes . Mine, eligibility is passed. And background check status updated from "we are processing your background check" to "Your application in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check".

That's kinda of confusing since am inland applicant. Haven't seen BG status changing for any inland.

The IP, IP2 were based on speculation and no longer hold true.

All applications go through the following stages:

R10
Medicals
Criminality
Eligibility
Security

I have 2 applications in process (EE and paper based). I am going on mat leave in 2 weeks. Do I need to inform IRCC I am on mat leave or they will only need to know when I give birth to a child, that's it? Please share your experience. Thanks!

I think that means your some project passed, maybe criminality,maybe eligibility,you can order a GCMS or send a webform to get more details.
