Hi
Here is my time line.
1.We received your application for permanent residence on December 3, 2015.
2.We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 2, 2016.
3.We started processing your application on March 3, 2016.
4.Medical results have been received. (I got medical request on Nov2,16 and they post this message on Jan5,2017)
And I checked my CIC on Jan19,17, the Background changed to "in progress".
One of your friend got medical request late than me, and he got passport request already.
I don't know why I still don't get my passport request.
Thank you,
