My time line thus far, for anyone interested.
App received in Sydney: 2014-05-14
AoR: 2014-07-16
Med request: 2014-09-12
Meds completed: 2014-09-18
Meds received: 2014-10-14
My PR application arrived at Sydney on 2014-05-12 and I got my AoR on 2014-07-16 and have yet to get an 'Acknowledgement of Processing' nor my medicals requested. Although, my AoR says that my application has been placed into processing... But, my online status only says "Application Received"...
To me, this timeline seems pretty standard. It hasn't even been a full nine months since your application was initially received. In most cases, you are granted PR within one year of your medical exam as it is only valid for a year.
It would behoove you to first actually read the materials people send in response to your queries. If you cannot do that, perhaps you should reconsider your whole application as I doubt you'd be a good fit anywhere in Canada.
