"Reviewing your eligibility" For Study Visa

[AFL10]

I'm applying for a study visa. On June 17 started the application- June 27 biometrics - August 17 the process changed to "reviewing your eligibility and medical exams" but I havent been notified to do my med exam yet. What does it mean?
When they're going to ask for medical exams?
After submitting them, how long until they ask me for my passport and return it?

I'm starting classes on Aug 29 in Vancouver

I am from Ecuador

Please help me out

Processing is at least 12 weeks. If you haven’t even done the medical and it is required, there is no way you will get a decision by the 29th.

The agency which is helping me with the process told me that I have to do the medical exams after, not upfront. I want to know how long they take to ask me for them

I can’t give you a timeline.

Have you contacted your school about the possibility of deferring? Getting an answer to start this term doesn’t seem realistic

Processing is at least 12 weeks from biometric update. I applied on Apr 27 and am still waiting for medical request. My eligibility check started on Aug 2.

Why can't you do them upfront? I've read a lot of cases where people do them upfront without any issues.

Note that the processing time starts from when you have completed biometrics and medicals (EDITED: apparently, just biometrics).
