My application is done a while back and I went through all the steps you're mentioning. No MR is completely normal at your stage, don't expect it until late february / early march and be happy if it does happen earlier than that
As for the reminder email, yes it's completely normal. That email is automatically sent to people periodically and does not refer specifically to your application. I got that email as well, and I got stressed out about it for no reason. I had sent all the documents I needed to send and I didn't need to send anything after getting that message, and my application was completed just fine. Don't sweat it, they'll contact you via email with a more direct message specifically for you if they require anything
