Hello everyone. Here with an update.
So on June 9th I was sent a medical request (without AIP) (Ecas: In Process - Medical required). I made an appointment for the following week but first thing in a Monday morning I received an email from IRCC that medical is not required and I should cancel my appointment until further notice. Nothing on status update upon asking. Was told that I will be contacted if anything required. It was very scary since I had not received the AIP so it put me in doubt. I thought maybe I will be exempted since I haven't left Canada in more than 5 years but these were all my guesses and I could only wait for an email update.
However, Today I received my AIP in the email confirming the approval. So Thank God ! I hope and pray the same for you all.
The email states that I will now be issued a medical request to be expected in a day or two. I don't mind waiting for the follow up process since I've waited so much already, but I just found it odd and inefficient. I could have completed my medical if it was required at the end of the day and have saved some time. But it's all okay in the end thank God.
And thank you guys, all the members and contributors, I started my H&C journey after stumbling upon this forum and with the help and guidance from past and current members. Will keep updated what happens next going forward. Thank you

Thanks much.CongratulationsMay I know if you had work permit and when did you come to Canada ? Did you receive your AIP from Toronto ?
I came here in 2012 to study. Had off campus work permit during my time but not a proper open work permit.
Did not have status at the time of H&C submission.
AIP Niagara.
No I'm single and no immediate relatives in Canada. But been here for so long that have enough professional, social, community relationships which I showed with my application in shape of letters and pictures.
Congratulations! Did you call them and talk to them? When you said, "Nothing on status update upon asking. Was told that I will be contacted if anything required." Or did it say anything about eligibility etc if anything approved or not?
Thank you.
No I never called. I asked in a reply of the first email. And I think that's a standard response which they give to all until they have finalized Stage 1 approval which i.e. AIP. I simply asked if there is ANY update at all on my application and the response was that you will be contacted by our office and thank you for your patience. That is a sign where one should stop asking for too much updates or send 5 emails to ask 5 different questions. It makes work slower, trust me. Only if a Senior contacts you, they will have the details and will tell you more.
And I believe that AIP is usually issued by a Senior and not by officers with agent codes (in my experience at least), who was very nice and detailed. In my case: Criminality was already passed and Security is what the officer had passed now. So I'm assuming that who ever is waiting for a status change in "security", it might only pass after Stage 1 approval. No mention of "eligibility" or "background" because I think eligibility is done whether H&C should put into process or not, if that makes sense. Only medical is required now.
All this info is my personal experience that I'm sharing, so don't take my word for anything. Every case is unique in nature. Good luck !
Thankyou for the detailed reply - that's interesting, because the automated response says my eligibility is in process, whereas the agent on the phone specifically said that eligibility has not started yet...
When I asked about AIP, agent said they don't know what approved in principle means, so I told them I wanted to know if its passed the first stage that allows to apply for other things like health cards, etc. so then they said that's eligibility and once its completed, only then we will know whether the application is positive or not.. and that hasn't started..neither criminality, security etc... only the medical is done.
