You receive your ITA, and you have 90 days to submit the full application
On submitting the full application, you receive an AOR or Acknowledgement of Receipt
Medical passed could take about 2 months, but recently its only been a month for some. It will say 'You have passed the medical'. I think this could be preceded with a background check of not applicable...
Background checks happen in two stages, on some forums they are labelled IP1 (in progress 1) and IP2 (in progress 2).
IP1 usually follows shortly after the medicals are passed, and should last a few days before the background check goes to not applicable again. The text I believe just says 'In progress'
This not applicable stage can last from a month to many months.
When the background check goes to 'We are processing your background check. We will contact you if we need further information', then you are in IP2.
After IP2 follows PPR, or Passport Request, which is the visa office asking for your passport so they can stamp it with something confirming your PR. At this stage you have been accepted.
Please note that the timelines are very rough, there are many factors that can affect your application such as spouse/#dependants, travel history, PCC's, and many more thing. Even certain streams seem to be slower, for example PNP applications seem to take longer than FSW, and CEC is fastest (Again generally speaking).
Not all of the above changes trigger an email to you. so its a good idea to check your application regularly.
In general it seems to be
Medicals passed
then your background will move from In progress 1 or not Applicable, but some people may never seen IP1 its so quick.
then you might see changes regarding the additional documents section
followed by in background to We are processing your background check (IP2)
IP2 seems to be a pretty good indicator you are about 2 weeks away from getting your Passport request email

My AOR is 16th Aug, 2017. Today my BG changed from 'Not Applicable' to 'Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.' There is no change in medical status. Is this the correct order which is followed by cic?
Also, my status shows 'Your Action is Required' but they have not asked for any additional documents. Can anyone please share their experience?
