Just regular, untrackable mail, with no indication as to when they send it! Yay CIC!

Hello! I have a question and I was wondering if anyone would know the answer. I have been in Canada for 2 years on a visitor visa. My husband and I applied for permanent residency in November of 2015. My visitor pass is up as of December 30,2015 . I have heard a lot of conflicting stories and I wanted to make sure I do not mess up. Since I applied for PR do I still need to apply for a visitor extension? Or am I on implied status till a decision is made for PR? :-\

Anyone who landed in October get their PR card yet? I landed on Oct. 5th and still don't have it. I tried the call centre just now but they wouldn't even put me on hold due to a "high volume of calls", pfft.

My husband got the document request email last month, but we still haven't gotten a 3rd line in Ecas. No "medical receive" line. Even though we sent in with application. Is that normal to sometimes not see that? Also, does doc request mean they are getting closer to making decision? I'm just so excited for everyone who's been getting DM lately, I'm hoping I'm coming up soon. Fingers crossed.
