What is your visa office? I mean, what country are you from?
Did you get a decision?
 
Just called CIC for the automated updated and it stated that my Medical has been accepted, I don't need an interview and that my background check review has not yet started, they don't need fingerprints (I sent criminal check and Schedule A) Based on current timelines from recent applications, any idea how long I could still wait?

Expect a few months at least if BGC not started yet, we're at 8.5months now ;) it's a long wait. Really depends on the application and the VO.

Here is a link with instructions on how to get a Police Cert. based on each country: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp
I think you can go ahead and get the Police Cert even if they haven't requested it yet, because depending on the country, it can take up to several weeks to get it. Once they request it, they give you a 30-day deadline to submit it. If you've lived in more than one country, you need one from each country that you have spent more than 6 months in since the age of 18.

No this number is for all the applications, you need to select option 1,1,2 then it will ask for the application number & then select the option to hear the status.

Hi, So the status update we hear over phone, is that the same as the one showing in GcKey? My representative has access to my gckey so I am only relying on the automated status update over phone. Thanks

It is the same for us. Apparently it stays like this until they start the background check.
