Hi guys,
I sent my passport this morning, hopefully I will get it back soon. This is just my sharing, maybe it will help you guys. From what I've seen and been through, you should request GCMS more frequent, every time you receive a result, request a new one. It might has the same result every time and 1 month delay but I think it will notice CIC officer in case your application was hidden or forgotten and it's only 5 bucks.
The most time consuming of the whole process is "criminal checking", and basically it isn't processed by CIC but by another agency (I think csis canada), RCMP will be security check and RCMP will be fast if you don't have any problem with RCMP. If you have lived more than 6 months in more than 1 country (Except your home country and Canada) or you travel a lot, it will impact your processing time. If you have dependents and your dependents have lived more than 6 months in more than 1 country, it will impact your processing time. It involves a lot of thing in criminal checking, like your relation ship in their database (Ex: they will check if you have ever contacted or have any relationship with any known criminal in their database). They will double check your PCCs so I think although you provided all the PCCs, they still re-evaluate it again.
Just my understanding. Hope it's right. Good luck to all of you who's still waiting. It will come soon.
 
I started this forum in june 2014 and visit 50times evryday..hope to get PR soon

Only a matter of time for you. You completed medical a little later than the rest of us. So you will get a little later. But its coming for sure and soon

I was doing GCMS notes twice a month and its free if you do it with the Privacy Act instead of Access to Information Act. It has no bearing on the speed of processing. Just your peace of mind.

it took 16 days for me to get medical updated. If you have dependents may be more.

You can apply to extend your wp 4 months before it expires. It takes 2 months to process.

Working for another employer depends on your nomination certificate. If you are nominated through employer driven stream (you nomination is based on your current job/job offer), then you will be unablle change jobs until your PR process is complete. If you are nominated through any other streams (masters/phd etc), then you are free to change jobs. You simply need to inform both your province and CIC about the change of job.
