Remedical and biometrics

Hi,

I received the eAor at the end of Abril and my medical exam is going to expire in September. A few weeks ago my status changed in the medical exam and elegibility from passed to been review (or something like this). I am applying inland and the only item pending is my biometrics, which I have received the letter in June but couldn't give due to Service Canada closure.
1) This change in the medical exam and elegibility status is because my current medical exam will expire soon and most likely before the process is finished?
Should I wait for them to ask for a remedical or can I do it upfront? (I'd rather go now because if a second covid wave happens everything will be closed again)
2) I might travel to outside Canada. Can I give my biometrics in a VAC abroad?
If I am still outside Canada by the time they request my passport, what happens?

A lot of questions, hope you can help me clarify!

Thanks,

I got my MP in June and then I received the BIL and a request from an additional police certificate. Not sure if it was on the same day, maybe same week, not sure.
My spouse is abroad and he managed to get the biometrics done and also submitted the additional police certificate last week (I'm in Canada so mine is still pending).
This week I logged into my account and my status had changed in the elegibility (from passed to in review) and medical (also from passed to in review) sections.

Hi
I have same situation. I applied 20 Feb, My medical passed 15 May and I received BIL 15 May. Today my profile was updated and my medical exam say "you do not need medical exam". I called IRCC, they say your medical exam was expired, you should wait, either request to do again or extend.
What happened to you? did they extend? what systems show now on your medical section?

They updated my medical exam to passed. It will expire next month so they might ask me to re-do it?
