Yes, It's a good sign that means your application made significant progress. In my case I also get re-medical request and my eligibility and background check get updated to complete after the request.

I believe I'm in the same situation as you although I'm FSW-O. Everything is green on the tracker since 8th June, however no email or updates on tracker/Gckey since then.
I sent a webform a few hours ago and got an auto-reply email that they're 'facing a high volume of requests and will respond ASAP'. Only decided on the webform route since it did elicit a response from IRCC when my MEP/BIL was delayed earlier on. But no idea if it helped my case this time.
Does anybody know if/when they take action after receiving an auto reply like this?
I called IRCC today and asked them if any email communication is sent for my application which might get missed but they said nothing is sent yet and my application is being finalized. I think it may take some weeks or a month. Keep posting your updates once you get any response or status.
Thanks for the update, I guess there's nothing left to do but wait patiently now. Nobody seems to know the exact reason why it gets delayed for some folks after everything is complete on tracker, whereas for others there seems to be an almost instant 'golden email' sent out. Perhaps some VOs are just extra slow in finalising even when all stages are supposedly done.
AOR in April 7,
May 10 medical update and request biometric,
May 12 biometric updates, background check starting and eligibility is not started
still no any update since May 12, the background check is still processing and eligibility is not started as well.

hi
I am a primary applicant with everything completed in the tracker under my name since 4th June, but I also have a Non-accompanying dependent on my application, whose biometric is in progress since 4th June and his eligibility has not been started. To my knowledge biometric is not required for Non-accompanying dependent so what could be the reason for that? is it anything to worry about? not sure what are they processing in biometric of my spouse since his biometric has not been given.

Even if the dependent is Non-accompanying they still need to give biometrics and medical exam. Biometrics take a week to get reflected in Application Status Tracker but you can get a ghost update in your GC Key account a day or some day before they get updated in the tracker.
but They haven't issued a Biometric instruction letter for him. Also, I read a tweet from IRCC that said that biometrics for non-accompanying dependents is not required.
Seems some mis-understanding about non-accompanying partner. It means that he/she will not be considered in the application for PR. Hence for such non-accompanying partner there will be no mention of bio,med, eligibility, background etc. Looks like you have included him as dependent
Exactly that's what i was thinking. He doesn't need to provide his biometric. But the thing which is confusing me is that, even though he is not considered for pr applications, i can still see his name in tracker as a dependent and when i click on details to get more info, the tracker says that his biometric is in progress plus his eligibility has not been started yet. Do you have any idea what might be going on there?what couldn't be the reason for that?....it's been like that since last 11 or 12 days,which is making me bit nervous.

Check your application after logging in to GC key. Did you fill up the application by yourself or by agent? If his name is shown as dependent then the application might be submitted incorrectly. I can’t think of any other reason.
I submitted it and when it asked if my spouse will be coming to canada i selected No. Even i haven't received Biometric instruction letter for him.
