It does not matter what VO the application is at. IRCC has been sending applications to different VOS across its network, both domestic and international for the applications to be processed.

IF its BGC, then you will have to see if it is criminality or security.

Criminality happens early in the process and will take place at CIO, whereas security is the last stage, and will happen at CPC or LVO.
I think my application is waiting on MEP. I have old medicals so they will have to be reassessed. It will come back and either will unblock my application OR will ask for re-medical. What is really annoying is that it was supposed to be faster as it was not supposed tp require expertise of health canada. As per their manual, It should have only taken medical and surveillance codes on my old IME to put them in medical pass or re-medical category. But apparently there is more to the story.

Since they have not taken my wife's biometrics, I think her Criminality cannot start at all. I specifically asked for her BIL and he said, it will take some time but not long time.

Now I am not sure if agent said in process it meant anything. The usual message is "We are processing" but it is false "in processing" which every application starts with.

Who here had an Aor after 20th August and got a medical pass on old medical? Please post your timeline... Your data is very important and useful in predicting how long it will take for rest of us waiting for MEP with old medical.

hello guys
AoR 30th aug
submitted old medical
oct 12 biometric req email
oct 13 biometric updated
after that no email
not even medical update
Hard to say... You might have missed your initial medical pass. It goes to No medical required quite fast. It will pass for second time.

It will be just your TO address and leave the smaller envelope open. They will stick from address when sending the passport.

You can call IRCC and get application status. It is same as on the portal.

As per the other champion member reads, I would think it is difficult to judge when the portal request will be.
However if you and your dependents (if any) bIometrics and Medicals already show updated on the account, you most likely shall be at the last stage(security) of your approvals.
