I did through webform. They never requested, i was asked by my rep to send updates once a month with pictures and other support documents, from the moment I got case number.

I am pretty sure my application is in missisauga as I had a request for extra information from there and an email from a case manager confirming it had been received also listed as working at that office. It was e-medical and I have a copy of it too. I dont really know where to call to chase up whether it was received or not? Good thing yours was so quick!
For us the medical timeline is as below:
06 Mar 2019 - Medical instruction letter received/dated
12 Mar 2019 - Medical test done
20 Mar 2019 - The clinic uploaded the medical report onto the e-Medical (they forwarded me the report via email as I had requested them to do so)
22 Mar 2019 - I saw the message "Medical results have been received" in the client application Status portal.
Since we are using representative it takes a bit longer to receive the CIC correspondence.
See this worries me because I also have the copy of my results from the clinic and confirmation they sent it but more than 2 weeks on and still no acknowledgement from Immigration at all. Any idea how best to follow up?
You may fill in a web form and send a query. They normally respond within a couple of weeks.

you can always call you clinic to confirm if it’s uploaded or not, have your IME number ready before calling

I guess the reason for early background check are multiple PCC’s.if you’ve visited 2-3 countries and submitted more thn one PCC, they started checking your background before transfer for the countries you have visited, and thn transfer it to your local VO.BGC can start before transfer. We already saw it happen to a few members here. Their BGC starts immediately after AOR1. I suspect that means IRCC considers those cases are either very straightforward or very suspicious so that it will take either very short or long time. As you can see, my response may not be a valid response either.Remember people here are all sponsors and applicants not IRCC officers. You don't expect definitive answer in some cases.
I really doubt that this is the reason. Ours has had background check processing from the beginning and my husband only has one PCC, from Germany. Outside of Europe he's only ever visited Canada, the US, and India (and all for way less than 6 months). I've been paying attention to others who also have said their background check is processing from beginning and definitely have not noticed the PAs having complicated travel/residence histories. Alas, I think this one is going to remain a mystery!

(Hi guys,
In my GC keys it shows 'we have not recieved your biometrics. But the PA has done biometrics like a month ago and it even shows biometrics enrollment number and everything. What is the meaning of this?

For anyone else who is interested in the behind-the-scenes operations of IRCC and how applications are selected to stay in Mississauga, I came across an old post recently that provides some concrete information.
The poster, @SeineToHumber, used access to information laws to request an operational bulletin from IRCC that describes how the process works, which you can see here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ob570-stream.513446/#post-6426449
Unfortunately, the government redacted the specific criteria used to triage applications, which is precisely what would be of most interest to applicants like us, though the OP provides a few extra bits of collected information in this post: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ob570-stream.513446/page-4#post-6962297
Hope it sheds a bit of light, for those who share my nerdy interest!

Thanks for posting this @schweisy and thanks to @SeineToHumber for requesting the information. It’s enlightening for all the recent applicants transferred to CPC-M.For anyone else who is interested in the behind-the-scenes operations of IRCC and how applications are selected to stay in Mississauga, I came across an old post recently that provides some concrete information.

It’s a shame they wouldn’t share the conditions an application needed to meet during the triage process to be transferred to Mississauga. It really would have given us a great insight as to how it all works behind the scenes.
Same here, I did my biometric 12th feb, still gckey shows need a fingerprint. Then I raised in webform, my local VO replied. We get ur biometric result and uploaded ur application.
