I don't think there is any pattern to it. It seems some people have BC move from not started to not needed and then back to not started and thena PPR. Some just move from not started to PPR. I guess all have to do is pray, hope and wait patiently.

The process differs for inland and outland applicants, and then again for FSW/CEC and PNP applicants. Could you share more information about your profile?

Hi, is there any difference in "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." and "background check in progress"?

Hi, is there any difference in "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." and "background check in progress"?

Difference will depend on your stream, timeline etc. At the end of the day, profile status wont always reflect the actual stage of file processing. Some people get the same wording in ip1 and ip2, some get ppr without ever seeing NA2 or IP2.
For most of us fsw outlanders, the common trend is ( bgc: your application is in progress.... , thats ip1, happens around medical pass), (bgc: we are processing your background check, thats ip2, happens after NA@, i.e after passing eligibility. Thats when your security check starts and final visa officer review and approval happens)

Hi dr feras,
My stream is Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW) & an INLAND applicant.

My status details:
Application status= We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility= We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results = If you need a medical exam, a message with instructions will be sent to you.
Review of additional documents = We do not need additional documents.
Interview = You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics = We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check = We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision = Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I cant tell without knowing your timeline in details. Also, to be honest I am not quite familiar with the process of QSW. They might have different trends. However, if you post your timeline, other senior members might have an idea.
