No - all it means is that the relevant officer has started reviewing the application.
I remember someone mentioned that they received a request for missing docs or signature before the status turned to "in-process". Have you seen or be aware of anyone whose application is in process and accepted but later requested to submit docs?

I agree with you. The officers here are nice and understandable my fear is the airline. It's a vbm flight. They will create issues.
My mom’s flight with Turkish airlines and she said they were giving troubles to everybody while people were boarding.
At first, they didn’t see that she had an immigration visa and kept asking about my canadian passport, then she pointed out that she is an immigrant and has a immigration visa they all became nice and said okay, go ahead.

Ya that's why I have decided to just go for it. As Gonna loose money either way. Even cancel this fligh and rebook another doesnt make sense
In the giant scheme of things, this is not a factor of money (though I fully understand it may be for few people) or the fact that your brother may have to return to India. These logistics can be dealt with...

The real risk here from a long term immigration / visa / entry-exit future visas (e.g. US etc.) standpoint is "inadmissibility". For any future applications you brother will have to declare that he was denied entry...

No comment.
It's 100% political. They prioritize bringing in the working class over those who will not contribute to the economy (our parents).
I have both applications going side by side, Parent sponsorship 2019, and Outland Spousal Sponsorship 2019, and I welcome the prioritization, as Parents can get SuperVisa (currently my parents have that) or Visitor Visa very easily, whereas I tried to get a Visitor visa for my spouse twice and gets rejected each time in less than 24 hrs(2nd application).

Maybe it is a political move, but look at the twitter page for IRCC, you will understand that how the pressure was mounting from all spouses who applied for outland spousal applications and waiting for their partners from 1-2 years.

What does this mean

I read this on Canada in India (High commission of Canada) Facebook page

Family Reunification (Foreign national traveling to join a temporary resident in Canada)
Foreign nationals who have an immediate family member already residing in Canada as a worker, visitor, student or protected person are exempt from the travel restrictions. An adult child of a person residing in Canada may be eligible under this exemption. This is because, while the child is not an immediate family member of the parent under the definition above, the parent is an immediate family member of the child. The objective of this exemption is to facilitate reuniting immediate family members who have been separated as a result of these travel restrictions.
Please find more information in the following link to assist you regarding if you are exempt from the travel restrictions: Travel Restriction Measures

PGP application for my mother was received by CIC on 2nd May 2019 (she was in Canada on a Supervisa since 2017), later she went to Australia as a visitor where she did her Biometrics. Sponsors eligibility was also passed. Processing on the application started in January 2020 by London Office. Today I have received an email from London Office asking for imm5562, imm5669 and the PCC from the countries she has lived in last 10 years.
I was expecting a request for Medicals as well but no mention of Medicals. My mom is still in Australia and we are thinking to eventually bring to Canada on a PR visa (whenever she gets it)
Anyone can suggest what stage the case is? Are background checks/verifications done already? What to expect next?
I deeply appreciate any one sharing his/her views or valuable suggestions in my case.

I suggested you earlier also, take the printout of all documents handy at the airport. For your brother this one is important-
"Dependant-A spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of a permanent resident or principal applicant."
Document no. 1- your status copy ( pr card or citizenship copy)
Document no. 2- your Birth certificate showing your parents name and in case passport copy also if it shows your parents name
Document no 3- "who is immediate family member sheet"
Document no 4- Dependant child description copy ( as above)
The above document clearly mention dependant child of principal applicant. This part should be highlighted( use the highlighter).
At the airport it all depends how confident you are and all the documents should be handy.
We have already travelled on 20th September, even before asking him I took out the papers and handed to the person for check, he just overlooked and handed back to me and said- please move. In case if the person at the airport ask, your parents should explain. 99.9% I am bit sure they will not stop.
In Canada the immigration staff is very cooperative.
Moreover your Father must be Primary Applicant and mother & brother will be part of the application. They all have to do together.

Hi
My parents Gic account, under background check shows:"we are processing your background check" now my question is : if this status was the same from beginning or this shows there is some progress.
We are still waiting for DM1 but I submitted PCC back in March before my parents come to Canada as a visitor.
Thanks

Hi
I applied for my parents when they were in canada. But after AOR my parents file was transferred to New Delhi.
So now on IRCC websit says that people who have applied PR inside canada will receive biometrics calls. So wondering my parents application would be considered inside or outside canada.
Thanks
