Not necessarily, mine is a clear example... Did medical in the clinic 17th Dec. 2019, notification in my CIC account that I passed medical was 4th March 2020, but my medical expired 23rd Dec. 2020.... This is the validity date also shown under medical in GCMS notes. So, medical is actually valid 1 year from the date the clinic submits your report to IRCC... You can check for "valid until" under medical section in GCMS notes...
Ahhhh, thank you for this, this was my initial thought until someone mentioned the day one passes medical is the day it starts counting!!!

there is really no specific time frame. mine has been gone for a month though i think its in transit back to Lagos. you can try to send an email to accraimmigration just to note the urgency but i dont think i have seen anyone with less than a month processing time. I may be wrong though

Kindly clarify this:
I got these information via calls, web forms.
My application was initially sent to CIO Sydney; then to Accra as Local visa office- where I was given ADR schedule 4; the ADR has not been reviewed to date since November 2, 2020; then now I have Accra as primary VO and Hong Kong as secondary Visa office.

My questions:

1) Who is to review the ADR, Primary or secondary VO?
2) who issues PPR, primary or Secondary VO?
3) kindly differentiate the function of primary VO from Secondary VO.

Thank you.

Currently Hong Kong is the office processing your application. When they are done with approval Accra will issue your PPR.

Post ppr here.
Please do we need to fill consent form for an 8yo dependent? If yes should the parent sign?
Thanks

You need to fill the consent form for all your dependents, even if they are one month old, then either of the parent can sign!

Thats their default answer. Since you have your counterfoil update, I guess you just have to wait it out...
We kind of have the same status and it think its the same for @nathan2020EE and @Annie01 as well

@Derline , we are still waiting...
