Some people say that 'medicals received' is a good sign. I think it means what it says and only that. Not wanting to get you down or anything but let me give you an example.
Mine said medicals received from the day I received sponsorship approval in oct 2011, my file never reached POS until dec 7 2011.
Everyone is different so just be patient, things will progress in the right way.
If you can give us more info, I will add you to our POS s/s. Info like home country, date of medicals, date AOR receivedif it did etc.
BTW welcome to our thread and I hope you will stay around.

Wow so it takes 2 months for the files to be transferred from Canada to POS? I assumed they were being transferred electronically?

This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted to this office on behalf of ..................

You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to a visa office abroad for further processing.

Should you need to submit additional information or make any further enquiries regarding the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s), you may contact the visa office by e-mail, fax, or in writing as follows:

Port of Spain
High Commission of Canada
Visa Section
P.O. Box 565
Port of Spain

E-mail: https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=port of spain
Fax number: (868) 628-2619

This was our sponsorship approval letter of oct 2011, when I received my AOR from POS in Jan 2012 it stated that they received my file in POS on 7th Dec 2011.
It is not always that it takes 2 months to get to the relevant VO. I suspect that they wait for an opportune time to send them off to the VO.
