Just saw an update since on May 21st my security initiated...it's been three months. But when i logged in then i realized just medical info was changed...previously it was " You passed the medical exam...now " You do not need a medical exam.......My medical was expired on August 20th. Is it a default update or it is a good sign???
It may be a good sign. It may indicate that your medicals were extended. At this point either they ask for new medicals or auto extend medicals. Let's hope this results in PPR.
Just take your passport along with that email printed copy, photo then goes to VFS and submit your passport. that's all you can do, the rest of the work done by IRCC.
that's an auto-update. they might extend your medical or ask your for remed once everything is passed.
I thought i passed SS but later i found it was about medical expiry. again hopeless.........................
No nothing..
Got no communication from IRCC
Called them but I was told that eligibility or security check has not yet started
Hi Guys,
Finally received "Ready for Visa" Email.
FSW-O
AOR- 10th August 2018
Medical Passed- August 30 2018
Last update on my account was in Sept-2018(got to know through GCMS notes ordered in April-2019). Was RR for POF, proactively submitted documents in May. Today got the "Ready for Visa" Mail. I opened my account, the status said "account updated" but nothing changed inside.
Thank you all for your support, reading this thread and sharing my story kept me sane. Hang in there guys.
Best of Luck.

So after receiving Ready for visa email 2 days ago, I received " Information letter" in my express entry inbox asking me to send passport and other documents to Ottawa, if I have a US address, does everyone receive this message in their account after RFV email? Can I send passport to Canada from US? I had sent an email to OTTAWA to ask for VFS change to NY, confused. Any inputs, anyone?
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, permanent residence visa.
If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form with details concerning your situation.
STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION
If any of the following conditions apply, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form:
Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
STEP 2: DO YOU NEED A PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISA?
If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you need your Permanent Resident Visa and it should be affixed in your passport, even if you already have a valid Canadian temporary resident visa.
You are required to submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that the passport(s) you are submitting is valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit the passport even if you are a permanent resident of the U.S.A AND hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.
If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or hold passport(s)/travel document(s) issued by the United States, you DO NOT need a Permanent Resident Visa to be affixed in your passport. Please do not send your original passport(s). You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that your passport(s) for which you will submit a photocopy is valid for at least 6 months.
***Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must submit a regular passport.***

2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
