Maybe this could be a thread to highlight all the statuses and what they mean once you have applied.

My initial question is the Medical status:

Mine is "Not needed at this time" which is odd, as im sure its needed. Looking at the below explanation, it says that it means they have not yet received an application for permanent residence. Odd, as they gave me the AOR to say received.

MAYBE, they mean that because my eligibility review is still in progress, it has not been classed as a permanent residence application YET.

Help - Review of medical results
Review of medical results may be Not needed at this time, Review in progress, We need medical information, Passed or Failed.
You must have a medical exam before you come to Canada. Your family members must also have one, even if they are not coming with you.
We will assess if your health:
• is a danger to Canada's public health or safety, or
• would cause too much demand on health or social services in Canada.
Not needed at this time means we have not yet received an application for permanent residence. You need an invitation to apply before you can submit an application for permanent residence.


P.s. if people want to add to this thread for a full coverage of statuses and interpretations, please do, and I'll edit this first post to update it with the info, to make it easy for all.

I don't know what the CIC procedures are (obvously), but I can tell from my experience and from what I observed on this forum that the review of eligibility will stay "in progress" til the very end of your process, and your medicals being "not needed at this time" means that they just haven't started reviewing them. They'll change to "passed" when the officer(s) get to them, or, like in some cases, to "in progress", and then "passed".
From what I've seen, you can't really rely on the literal meaning of the statuses in myCIC, it's better to look at the statistical accumulated interpretation of them on this forum :)
