Hi tons40,
I believe I have a similar timeline with you.
I still haven't got AOR yet. My lawyer told me that medical request usually comes few months after AOR (or few weeks)
He told me I'd better wait for a formal paperwork since some of the results have been often lost and CIC now ask that all applicants wait until they are advised to do the medical.
I heard from friends that some doctors refused to run medical check-up without the formal request, but some did not.
If you really want to do it in advance, you can look for a doctor who's willing to do it without formal paper.
But I decided to wait. I still think following intruction strictly is the best/fastest way.
