Hii druce kindly tell if background check is done after AOR or not??
Background checks is definitely done after AOR. I am not sure at what stage exactly as this seems to vary from Visa Offices. I have read that some VO's will first do background checks and then send out MR, other do the MR first and them do background and criminality last.
Anyone else that has a better idea is welcome to contribute here?

What did you do about your Medical Request?
i think you still haven't received your MR right?
I have not done anything about medicals as I have not yet received MR. I will wait patiently until I get MR and I believe this will be in April looking at other timelines of Pretoria VO in the past.
I also requested GCMS notes the 18th of March so will get that back during April and see how far my application is. If I dont get any MR, PCC Request or GCMS notes I am going to visit Pretoria VO 3 May 2016. They accept personal inquiries the first Tuesday of each month.

Dear All,
Did you submit PCC for your spouse as well?
-----------------------
As per Document Checklist [IMM 5690] (01-2016) E, item no. 15:
Police Certificates and Clearances:
You must get a PC from each Country where you have lived for 6 or more months in a row since the age of 18.
-----------------------
In my understanding of the above, only the principal applicant (you) is required, unless CIC/VO requests for: PCC for spouse + children/dependents above 18.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and observations.
The PCC is for everyone included in your application that is 18 years and older needs to submit PCC's. So you will have to get it for your wife as I suppose she is older than 18.

Police certificates
You and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens must provide a valid police certificate for each country other than Canada, in which you have spent six or more months since the age of 18.
Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that country.
If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator.
We will also do our own background checks to determine if there are grounds under which you and your dependants may be inadmissible to Canada.
For specific and up-to-date information, see our guide on how to get a police certificate.
