AFAIK, it is done later, generally after the test. That is why applicants receive a request for all pages of the passport or a RQ at the time of or after the test (generally).
Background check consists of 2 parts one part (Criminality and Immigration ) from RCMP and 2nd Part Security from CSIS . These both have validity . Usually the one from rcmp expires in 1 year so has to be renewed . Csis is valid for 4 years. Once both are done you see the satus Background completed.
Physical presence is totally different , deals with CBSA .

I don't think immigration checks fall under BG checks category.
For me, Background checks were complete but my "residency" (which is the same as physical presence) were "Not started" the last time I ordered GCMS notes.
BG checks = Criminality + Security. Not immigration/residency checks IMO.

Makes sense. 'Immigration check' means checking applicants history with IRCC (student/PR...etc) and also cross checking entry/exit records of CBSA with applicants provided information which indirectly also means 'Residency' check. They both go hand in hand.

You will receive an email about a week before the ceremony. Some applicants have received calls before the oath. It might come from a number marked as "Unknown" or "Spam" so make sure you answer calls if you get it from an unknown number.
