You applied before Dec 7, 2016? What day did you actually apply? Have you not heard anything since 2016? Have you ordered GCMS notes?
 
Same issue here! December 2nd, 2016, still nothing happening. I'm sure it'll all be fine, it's just the waiting that's getting to me.

Background check is never ending and it will not change to complete unless you land as a PR. Mine changed to completed the day after i landed.

In my CIC, it shows they received my application on Dec 1, 2016. I did the medical exam in this March. And it shows "You passed the medical exam." in my CIC account. The medical exam status was changed only two to three days after i took the medical exam. how is that possible? The doctor told me the test result will take 2-3 months.

this is completely normal. if you are within your 12 months, there is nothing to worry about.
 
contact your MP and reach out to your VO then.. no one here can tell you what it is that is holding it up or how much longer it will be. also order your notes
