I just checked. If you get a medical request from the high commission, your status on VFS online tracking also changes. I logged into VFS after some days of medical exam and saw that it says "You are requested to undergo medical exam kindly visit VAC to get the request letter"
Pretty good status check. Initially VAC staff said status will only change once passport is returned to VAC.
