I read in this forum that after passing medical exam it can take 2 days to 30 days. I have more often seen PPR coming in 10 days after MEP.
I am in the same boat, remedical done on Aug 12th.
You were 100% right! Today I've finally got my PPR. So, it took 3 days after my medicals had been uploaded by a panel physican.

Same here, I got my Ready for visa email today, 2 day after MEP :)

They mentioned wrong VF in the email, I sent them a query to change VFO to NY. Where are you located?

Congratulations!! :)
I am a little confused about the next steps. Do we fill anymore forms on VFS site or just mail the passport, photos and ready to visa email with fee?
Thanks )

As for me, I have to fill all the forms the russian VFS asked for. Last evening I called to Moscow and they said me to do so. I don't know whether it is applicable for a VFS in NY. Call'em, it's their work to answer your questions.

So after receiving Ready for visa email 2 days ago, I received " Information letter" in my express entry inbox asking me to send passport and other documents to Ottawa, if I have a US address, does everyone receive this message in their account after RFV email? Can I send passport to Canada from US? I had sent an email to OTTAWA to ask for VFS change to NY, confused. Any inputs, anyone?

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, permanent residence visa.
If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form with details concerning your situation.
STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION
If any of the following conditions apply, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form:
 Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
 Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
 Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
 You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
STEP 2: DO YOU NEED A PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISA?
 If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you need your Permanent Resident Visa and it should be affixed in your passport, even if you already have a valid Canadian temporary resident visa.
You are required to submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that the passport(s) you are submitting is valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit the passport even if you are a permanent resident of the U.S.A AND hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.
 If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or hold passport(s)/travel document(s) issued by the United States, you DO NOT need a Permanent Resident Visa to be affixed in your passport. Please do not send your original passport(s). You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that your passport(s) for which you will submit a photocopy is valid for at least 6 months.
***Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must submit a regular passport.***
STEP 3: PREPARE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
1. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
3. One pre-paid return envelope for the return of your passport(s) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence documents: DO NOT SELECT “Schedule a pickup”; DO NOT put IRCC Phone Number or email address
a. If your documents are being returned to a Canadian mailing address, please submit a Pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post or a pre-paid return envelope from any other courier service.
b. If your documents are being returned to a mailing address in the U.S.A, please submit a self-addressed shipping label along with its commercial invoice and a returning envelope from FedEx, UPS or Purolator.
4. The completed and signed Annex A attached to this correspondence, listing your current mailing address.
STEP 4: SUBMIT THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
 If you do not have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.A, or if you are unable to submit the required documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please advise IRCC via the IRCC Web form for instructions to submit your documents to the visa office that serves the country where you are.
Please note that our office will not return passports to an address outside North America.
 If you have a mailing address in Canada, please submit by mail in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:
CPCO – PR VISA
Passports Submission
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 6T2
DO NOT FILL OUT THE ADDRESS SECTION ON YOUR CANADA POST RETURN ENVELOPE.
If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A., please submit by courier in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:
CPCO – PR VISA

Everyone receives this email once your PR has been approved. Step # 4 will be particular pertinent to you. Read carefully about the return envelope procedure. :)

Update for the Group.
After 17 months
Several Calls to CIC ( standard response each time )
Used MP's office to get information ( Was very helpful in finding out missing documents and getting those documents submitted quickly)
Sent a Email to the minister’s Office ( Standard reply: processing times vary)

Received Email this week after remedical. ( Remedical took about 2 months to go through)

Tips I found helpful.
1. Being Patient and Not thinking about it every day. 17 months feels like 17 years if you check your profile every day. ( Praying about it helped calm my nerves)
2. MP’s office was great finding out information on my behalf. I requested an in person meeting with the admin person from the MP office.
why your remedical took so long? just curious. I also got remedical request and i was wondering about timeline and congratulations for PR
