I was in the same situation. I applied in July 2017. No updates since AOR. I received MR at the beginning of January 2019. After medical passed, the background check passed in the next 3 weeks. Apparently IRCC would speed up the processing if your application is close to the deadline.

I understand, but I do not know why I can not see status. A request for medical examinations appeared by email. I was unable to log in to a CIC account.
But I think it's PRESSED IS DENIED, AN IMPORTATION MEANED BY E-MAIL.
The movements have been getting more time consuming, everything is stopped. Very difficult this wait!
Yours Is too far behind. I hope I will not fall into security check, this will add ANOTHER 6-18months to your waiting time. And this one is the last thing to deal with after background check, eligiblility and medicals.
I could not make a GCKEY account so I can not see the status. The immigration agent was sent to an email in July 2017 requesting medical examinations. Then I had no news.
I still see a lot of Dec 2016 and Jan/Feb 2017 applicants waiting for PPR now. We just need to relax and wait
I already did the medical exams in July of 2018, but I can not see my status. They are not sent by email.
Do you know more than in July 2017?
To exchange information.
What worries me is that you do not catch anyone coming PR.
Processes stopped.
What is your application status now? I was told by IRCC agent that the final decision would come soon. But it's been a week now and still no updates
Let's hope that next week we will have good news.
I believe we will be the next to receive the PR.
We have 19 months of process.

We have 19 months of process.
I was told that my security was not started yet. Frustrated. But I got a line added on my ecas yesterday.
My profile is similar to your's. Waiting for DM and PPR.
as far as I know, a bunch of sep, oct, 2017 already got PPR. Why not link your UCI to CIC account ?
My application is 20 months old, today I sent an email to IRCC FORM WEB, they sent me an automatic email saying;

Sharing with you. I hope it helps:
Passing the medicals is definitely an important event, which takes you an inch closer towards your Canadian dream. However, it does not guarantee you a successful climax.
Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.
BG: Not Applicable (NA1)
Medical passed - (MEP)
BG: In Progress (IP1) - R10 check is done here.
BG: Not Applicable (NA2) - Eligibility check is done here.
BG: In Progress (IP2) -
BG: Not Applicable (NA3) - Sometimes this does not come
PPR: Passport Request
CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence
So it is in below order:
AOR-NA1-MEP-IP1-NA2-IP3-NA3-PPR-CoPR
AOR: This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.
NA1: "Not applicable". This will be your BG status message as soon as you submit and get AOR. Typically, this will be status until the time you get your medical passed status.
MEP: "You passed the medical exam". This will usually happen after approx 25-30 days after your AOR. For PNP applicants it can take more time generally.
IP1: This will happen one or two days after your medical. Sometimes on the same day itself. BG status message in this stage will be "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check. " CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel good, they will change it. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office).
NA2: "Not applicable". This will signify that IP1 is completed. Sometimes IP1 will take few hours and if we have not checked our account during the time it was in IP1, it will not be possible to know that we are in NA1 or NA2. Our file will be transferred to CPC (Case Processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and they will initiate Security Checks.
IP2: BG status message in this stage will be "We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information. " Visa Officer starts reviewing or reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day, PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. These things will be done at CPC office.
NA3: "Not applicable". This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible in many cases, and PPR request is placed from IP2.
PPR: Passport Request. You will get an email for that and you may not get an update in your CIC account for this.
ADR: Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage.
An email, as well as a message in your CIC account, will be sent.
