What stages does a Canadian immigration application go through?

A typical Express Entry application progresses through these stages: ITA (Invitation to Apply), Submission, AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt), BIL (Biometrics), Medical Exam, Eligibility Review, Background Check, Final Decision, P1/PPR (Passport Request), eCOPR (electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence), and PR Card.
