Thanks for sharing. This is a joke. What did CIC think while implementing this feature? There survey question from email asked if this progress bar made me feel satisfied or confident about my application. Something along those lines. The answer is HELL NO!
What a waste of time. However, I still don’t see it in my account, though now I know where to look for.

They could be doing other checks (like R10) before you having MEP. That was my case. For example, I just got my medicals passed today hahaha (AOR Oct 6) but on Nov 5 my status changed to IP1 (UCI was updated on that day also).

Do not worry. MEP will come. Sometimes it takes more than the average time of 30-35 days. As a matter of fact, their website informs that it takes about three months to process results after they get them from the panel physician.
I think I read somewhere on IRCC website that if R10 fails, they upload the application to GCMS anyways and send a rejection and also refund all fees (cost recovery and PR, if paid).
MEP is done by Health Canada - obviously a part of the cost recovery fees would be allocated to one of Health Canada’s department. This may imply that MEP indirectly means R10 is passed.
R10 definitely is a significant milestone - the check not only places a significant onus on the applicant for completeness of the application but also empower ircc for rejection without giving much reasons. In later stages if they do realize about missing documents, a high probability exists for raising a demand for the same by VO or Case Analyst

Saw this “Progress bar”. I don’t understand why they have implemented such an interesting idea in that useless way. I think all of us knew that the process time is 6 months :)
They should have done a bar with completed steps such MEP, R10 and so on.
I am always interested about what people people think when they do something like that.
Left a negative response about this bar.

Hi Guys,

I'm November 8th AOR, have been following you guys for some time and decided to join for updates. I still haven't received my medicals passed and have seen quite a few people getting their medicals cleared for November 8th AOR. Anyone else have any similar experience?

Should I just wait?
