How many days does it take from AOR date to BIL and Medical normally nowadays?
I have submitted old medicals from 2019 for myself and my dependents. Any suggestions please?

Its painfully slow right now for people who are outland, many applicants who applied in April are still waiting for MEP/BIL. There has been some movement in the last week. People with April/May AOR 2021 have reported that they passed medicals last week so situation is definitely improving.

If you are CEC you can expect a faster timeline, CEC applicants get MEP/BIL in about 1-1.5 month.

You can check average timeline using this tracker. https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application

This is data is crowd sourced so its not completely accurate, but it gives you a rough idea.

Thanks for sharing! I agree with your analysis.
One thing very clear and nearly stated everywhere on IRCC websites is that the IRCC is prioritising applicants who are exempt from travel restrictions. We are still in the pandemic here, and unfortunately there is a lot uncertainty associated with international travel and border restrictions. The policy does not only apply to the outland economic immigration applications but also temporary residency applications such as work permit and TRVs and such. Because of this policy currently in placed, outland applications are often delayed compared to the inland.
Another thing is that IRCC has diverted some resources to the ongoing Afghans crisis. They have set a target to settle Afghan reviews this year, which was not foreseen and prepared before August 2021. So, it is not unreasonable to expect delays in recent EE applications across all streams. IRCC perhaps needs time to deal with historically high volume of applications (ECE+PNP+refugees+new pathways for HK, int graduates, health care, essential workers and whatnot).
Then in that case they should reduce the frequency of ITA's.
