gotcha…thanks for clarification.
I got another medical done yesterday and thinking about uploading it via webform (don’t want to take chance if cic doesn’t find all my reports on eMedical). Do you think it will be a good idea or should I hold on?
Did you get the new medical done at the same place? That shouldn’t have been needed and if those guys screwed up the first one they are likely to screw this one again.
You can upload the new one through webform, however at this point I don’t know if the outcome will be different.
yea I got it done from the same place. I don’t think they screwed it up. Actually there is more to it.
Six months before applying for express entry, I used the same medical to apply for Canada work permit and successfully got the same. I researched on internet (confirmed with hospital as well) and found that there is no difference between medical for work permit & PR and same medical can be used multiple times within an year, so I used the same medical.
But this decision turned out to be the spoiler :=(
I will upload the new medical via web form tomorrow. I am not sure what exactly to write in the message column so that they add it to my existing file.
On a different note, Why do you need medical for work permit ?
Its required if the work permit applied is of more than 6 months

Indian, applying from USA.
CRS Score : 453
e-AOR : October 16, 2018
Medicals passed : Nov 14, 2018
Received a message from the portal : “How to find a job in Canada” on Dec 20,2018
Status since Dec 20, 2018 : Background check -We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Anyone else who is in the same time-line & any idea on when I’ll receive PPR?
It’s like my profile is a almost a mirror image of yours. IN in USA, 456, AOR-19 Oct, exact same BGC information showing on my profile too, though I have no idea what stage of the process we are in. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, but I’m also playing the waiting game patiently. 
@acheema Congrats! Our AOR was Sep 7th. We are still waiting for our PPR, which we hope would be soon.
Any idea on where they have reached in terms of processing PPR based on the AOR date?
Aor on may 7
Back ground check in progress for 8 months.
Still waiting for ppr… Anyone around same time time
@Prag We have MyImmiTracker and it says that PPRs are being generated for FSW-Outland cases for which AORs that were received between Sep 13th and Nov 27th. Since we received AOR before Sep 13th, we are a little worried.
Can you send me that link? Thanks.
It also depends on the visa office…where ur file is and how fast they can process
Where did you apply from and was it through PNP?
I applied as fsw express entry profile
My aor came on may 7
Medicals were cleared on may 15
Background check in progress
Still waiting ppr lets see its been a very long wait
Anyone in the same boat as me
Were you asked for any additional documents?
People who have been waiting this long should order GCMS notes. It would help them know what the hold up is.
My recommendation is for people to order GCMS notes after 45 days. If you didn’t pass R10 at CIO, you would already have been rejected.
However if you are in Review Required, you can know exactly why you are review required and proactively raise a CSE to address that. Benefit of this is that when the Visa officer looks at it around 6 months timeline - they would pass everything instantly. It would also avoid a potential rejection - however direct rejection is unlikely after R10. You would at least get a procedural fairness letter.
Usually FSW-O (USA) get approved same day of getting “Your background check is in progress”. If you are FSW-O (USA) and you background check is in process for months there are just two possibility:
- You are approved and somehow your PPR is not being generated or you missed the PPR email. CPC Ottawa usually doesn’t wait too long after approval but Sydney VO is known to do this. Best way to find out is call the Customer Service number.
- You are in Enhanced Security. This would typically take 11 months and in rare cases 2 years.
