Advice? Just wait longer.

The medical results are sent to a Regional Medical Examiner, who must review and approve the results. Then they must be accepted by a CIC officer as approved. So, either the RME or the CIC officer are delayed. Your medical is one of the last things you need done, and is valid for 1 year. So, not to worry. Just wait longer.
Thank you @profiler !!!

Hey guys i got my AOR on Aug 24, 2016
Today Aug 30, 2017 I saw Decision Made on both Sponsor and Applicant side.
Just wanted to share this update.

Few questions: are there any roadblocks after this that I need to be vary about? The status on ECAS says decision made but when I click the link on the inside there is no other information, other than We started processing your application/Medical received.

Also I just moved to a new place yesterday and I submitted my address change request today through ECAS. Do I need to do anything else, it says it will take 15 days to change the address in their system.
Congrats

When did you get your AIP?

Hi Guys,

I have got a landing interview tomorrow. What all questions they ask? I have gathered all the documents asked though
Congratulations!
Questions are very simple and are not a test. They will ask if you have ever been denied entry to Canada, ever convicted of any crime in Canada or anywhere else in the world, do you have any dependents that are not already listed on the application. To the sponsor, they might ask if he/she still want to sponsor and explain that there will be an undertaking agreement for 36 months starting from the day of landing. They will hand you your CoPR document, those questions are on the document and they will ask you to check it and confirm that everything is correct, then sign it. For us, there was an error on the last entry to Canada date and location. They corrected manually. Once it is signed by you and the agent, the agent will hand you your CoPR and tell you: congratulations, you are now a permanent resident of Canada!

Normally, it's 5-10 minutes from the time the agent will call your name to the time you will get you CoPR and be officially done! So nothing to worry about.

Congratulations, you are done and waiting for a landing appointment. The landing appointment will normally come by email, so you should not worry too much about your change of address. However, if you can, keep an eye to your previous mailbox or register with Canada Post to have your mail redirected to your current address.
Yes I'll reroute mail through canada post for peace of mind. Thank you!

Went to see the MP today. She was not in nor the assistant who handles immigration.
The receptionist was kind enough to take my information and questions to see what is delaying getting my landing appointment.
She told me the assistant will try to find out what she can and get back to me but it may not be until Friday.
Crossing fingers for results from this and hopefully my landing letter.
The wait continues......
