This is important info I was not aware of. To get a DM before police check report is requested is not a good sign.
I had a case of a posting of one applicant telling everyone that she gotten a DM despite never had medical test done or police check done up front. She thought it was a positive DM despite getting DM so quick. Been telling her that it is impossible to get a positive DM without medical and police reports. As it turned out, the applicant depended on the online update address change only. No follow ups. CIC was sending medical and police check requests to the old address. She never gotten them and since she never replied back by deadline, CIC assumed the PR application was abandoned. I never seen her posts since.
