It's not necessarily the case that medical request is shortly after the biometrics request. As the medical results expire after one year, some people don't get it until later in the process, as it would be unfortunate if the processing dragged on to have to retake the medical exam in order to be able to enter Canada. In the case of Quebec applicants such as myself (where there's an extra load of paperwork to send), the medical request is generally sent after the Quebec application gets processed.
Thank you for reply and good luck with app. let me ask you again on my ecas I see line 2 We sent xxxxxxxxx on August 28, 2019. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. I'm wondering if this letter meant for Biometric request which I received on Aug 28, 2019 or medical request Which I'm missing. I had the impression Bio request doesn't show on Ecas? Is that true?

Hello,

Please help !! ecas says it sent me medical request on August 16 but I haven't received any e-mail regarding this. I have looked at my GC key account as well. How can I locate my medical request letter?

This email and attached request would go to PA. If you are not set up to receive your correspondence by email you'll be waiting for a paper copy but I'm sure no one does this. The letter itself is not located anywhere else, like GCkey. Check your junk mail. If you can't find it. Call them if you're sure you don't have it so they can resend.

We got PPR today. :)

Application Received: June 17
AOR1: August 8
Biometrics Request: August 13
Sponsor Approval: August 14
Medical Request: August 14
Biometrics Passed: August 19
Medical Passed: August 26
eCAS shows 'We started processing your application...': September 3
Decision Made: September 5
PPR: September 6

We never did get a VO transfer email or a proper AOR2, but PPR did end up coming from CPC-M which explains the quick timeline.
Not that we're complaining!
Still trying to understand why some are sent to Mississauga and done in a few months while others go elsewhere and take 12. Can you give some details about your app? Like where is PA from...married? Length of relationship? Dependents? Inland or outland? Anything else? Thanks!

hey fellas,

quick question PA received update in ECAS today,
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on June 11, 2019.
  2. We sent you medical instructions on August 23, 2019. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
  3. Medical results have been received.
"The Medical results have been received " update means it is passed or IRCC just received the results from e medical? will I receive another update says medical passed?

Thanks

That's ECAS for "passed". GCKey should show that you passed

I checked my GC key but no messages there. What should I do? Which phone number should I call to have them resend the e-mail??

My medical request came through GCkey, not through my regular email.

@shoaibmozid try contacting them through the webform first, and you can also ask for an extension, as you have not received the request letter. Include a screenshot of your ECAS showing that it says they have sent you the medical request, along with a screenshot of your GCKey account (specifically the "Messages about your Application" section on your application page itself) showing that you have not received the request, because once you have linked your application to your GCKey any request messages should be going through that and not the mail. I find I get a better response from submitting a webform vs calling the helpline.
