Hello everyone some positive news after a long time !
I just received all the three things at once in my CIC account today.
1. Medical Request. (IMM 1017E)
2. Schedule A forms.
3. RPRF fee request.
4. A letter from the visa officer.
My timelines are in the tracker
https://imtrackdb.firebaseapp.com under the same username. I already took appointment for upfront medicals, guess it will not be upfront now as I got the IME letter today. A letter from the visa officer asking to submit schedule A and RPRF fee within 7 days. The officer has no name, but some sort of code. When I googled the code, its someone from Local Visa Office in Montreal.
