Thanks for the quick reply @sky2828 . Is it normal for them to send out two separate mails?

Well, when you said your wife received a medical request, how did she get the request?
1. If it was via mycic in this case if you scroll down you should see the document IMM 1017E prefilled with details under "Messages about your application"?
2. If it was via an email, then it should be an attachment in the email?
3. If the application is not connected in mycic and PA's email is missing, then it might be via normal post.

This worries me now.

I checked MyCIC, there is nothing in the "Messages about your application" section. Just says "No data available in table".
I received the request in email and normal post. It is the same letter asking for Medicals and some additional documents - a single paper. No other document

There should be page 2 of the document on which bottom left-corner, there will be a form number. IMM 1017 E and heading "MEDICAL REPORT CLIENT BIODATA AND SUMMARY"? Download the file from your email's website to downloads, maybe the browser is playing games with you.
Else, I would suggest you call IRCC, tomorrow morning.

I checked everything again thoroughly. I couldn't find anything pertaining to an IME#.
I will call them tomorrow. Thank you!

Oh congrats! I just saw this update My question is answered! so there was only 4-5 days between when your file was transferred and when it started processing? that's amazing

Thank you, Exactly, there was few days between these two steps.

I received Pre-Arrival Services letter this morning, on behalf of my husband (PR). I wasn't expecting to hear from CIC for a while, so I am pleasantly surprised. However, I am not going to get my hopes up yet. From what I have read on the forum, this means that PR eligibility was passed and that next step is BGC, which could take anywhere from a few days to several months. Pre-Arrival Services does not guarantee a quick DM/PPR, but I am very curious to see how things develop from now on. A lot of applicants received a PPR very shortly after. Some waited for a few more months...
If anyone has experience with this, can you please share it here? Thanks.

Hi,
My wife also received pre-arrival services letter on 7th March, It has been more than 2 weeks now, haven't heard anything since.

Hi,

That's good. Now all we need is a bit more patience. I've been thinking of this stage of the process. They are supposed to be doing BGC now and that is really something even your VO does not have control of. Let's say, they send out requests to certain institutions in your country. (criminal BGC, military BGC etc.) If they get all responses from them fast - great, they will pick up your app again and finalize it, if all is ok. BUT, if they do not receive a response, they have to follow up with another request and I don't think they do this within a week or so, I assume they set a reminder date (possibly what everyone is referring to as BFD) which could be a month away, so when they pick up your file again, they send another request for info. When all responses are received and they are satisfied, BGC is complete. Next step is DM and then PPR. It is impossible to predict how much longer it will take, so it is best not to worry, but to go about our daily business and think positively.
This is all speculation, of course, but it would make sense to me because some BGCs are completed within a week and some take 2 months or more. (also depends on how many countries PR has lived in, travel history and some other factors too)
Good luck to you and your wife!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, let's hope we will get the PPR soon.
Good luck to you too

@pk107
Are you able to check ECAS and GCKey status and have you called CIC to inquire about transfer of your file?

@sandeep_s Congrats!

September applicants, would you please keep updating September spreadsheet? It helps us see which stage everyone is at. If you need help with adding yourself, you can PM me with your timeline. Thanks!

Yes ECAS says "We have started your processing". However i am not able to see GC key status as i have a paid representative. I received an email regarding File transfer to Delhi VO on Jan 23, 2019. Nothing after that. Any idea how frequently does the ECAS status changes?
