Passing the medicals is definitely an important event, which takes you an inch closer towards your Canadian dream. However, it doesn’t guarantees you a successful climax.

Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.

BG: Not Applicable (NA1)

Medical passed – (MEP)

BG: In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.

BG: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.

BG: In Progress (IP2) –

BG: Not Applicable (NA3) – Sometimes this doesn’t come

PPR: Passport Request

CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence

So it is in below order:

AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP3 – 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. On the same day, PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. These things will be done at CPC office.

NA3: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible is 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.

Hi everyone,
I am late to the party so my apologies if this has been addressed previously.
I have a question, if you can kindly advise.
1. Does a remedical request mean that the SS is over? I am getting conflicting responses when I go through the forums from yay! you’re close to the PR to nah! doesn’t mean anything - may be usual protocol.
2. Any observed pattern from time between remeds and PR?
Thank you!

Hi buddy,
I am Nov 2017 AOR, and my medical expired in September 2018. The remedical request was sent in December 2018 (approximately a year after I applied). I think yours might be on its way once they complete your applications formalities, but you may want to ask the senior members on the forum since I am new to all this :)
Thanks!

Best of luck. The wait does get a little nerve-wracking but I am confident you will get it faster than my timeline. I applied for the ITA from Pakistan, but I submitted the application while in UAE. I am not sure if that will make a difference, but given the trends for the duration from Pakistan, I am anticipating a wait. Overall, from the forum I have gathered it is much faster for Indian applicants, so hang in there! Youll be there soon :)

Hello Everyone,

My AOR is 9th Oct 2018
Medical passed on 8th Nov
However, my medical got expired on 3rd Dec and I received a request for Remedical on 31st Dec.

Today, I got my medical done and uploaded the emedical tracking sheet provided by clinic in the application. However, my application status still says "Your action is required" ,and below highlighted statuses also have remain unchanged. I understand that clinic will take a week to upload the test result, but as I have submitted the emedical tracking sheet as additional document in application, should not the status have changed by now to something like additional documents submitted, or some other status?
