I have just finished up my medical exam a week ago and I rec'd a message from Ottawa asking for my FBI clearance and police clearance. I sent those in with my original application, do I have to re-do? Anyone having a similar request? I don't mind doing again if they need it, but the email says they have to have forms within 90 days- the problem is it's 12-18 week wait for FBI clearance. HELP

Yes you will have to re-submit new PCC.
here is what you can do if you cant submit PCC in given time frame:
A 7-10 before due date email them that you haven't received you PCC before of longer wait time, also attach a copy of that receipt for there reference. Request and assure them that you will submit it as soon as you receive it.

You don't indicate when you submitted your original application. But if the PCCs are more than 1 year old, it IS normal for CIC to request new PCCs.
Sometimes it is simply an oversight by the VO. There is no harm in sending an email stating that you submitted them with your original application, and to request confirmation that you have to replace them -
Sometimes, they simply do get misplaced, and unfortunately, you have to get new ones.
As for the processing time for the FBI cert - that's why they gave you 90 days instead of 60 (the norm). If you get close to the deadline and still haven't received the FBI certificate, just keep CIC informed.
