Guys I need some advice here, I am a bit concerned with the progress of my application.

We received our AOR for PR application on June 11 2017. Application proceeded normally, we had a baby after that, I informed CIC about that and were asked on Sept 6 to get baby's medical done. We completed and submitted that around 15 Sept. Since then I see the we have passed the medical exam under the application status, it says that the additional documents I provided are being reviewed, no interview or biometrics needed and background check is not applicable.
I have not heard back from them since where as on the forum I see that people with AOR of July are ahead of me in their processing.
Should I be worried? Please advice.

You're only at 4 months - remember, the average processing time is 6 months. And you DID provide an update to your application after submission, which would delay/extend processing. Don't worry about what's happening with other people's applications; you're still within normal processing times.

You're barely 4 months in. Don't stress until it hits at least the 6 month mark.

Proceedings on your application are started after 15 September, so nothing to worry. By exploring, this forum we can find the people with February and March AoRs. Take it easy dear, hope your file will move soon to next stages. :)

Thanks a lot for the response, I really appreciate it. Would updating my application reset the 6 month timer or is there a average delay which I should expect because of the update?

@lushahz Thanks for your kind words, I was getting worried a bit. Since my application was completed on 15th September would that mean that average processing time of 6 months would start from September?

I'm not that expert ;), but it seems likely.
