Hi Mimikoms, most people would applied before Dec 15th 2016 would have done an upfront medical or did it at SA/file transfer. It's only those who applied after Dec 15th who cannot do an up-front medical, and have to wait for CIC to request one. Therefore, it cannot really be determined how long it will take for you to be asked. I can imagine it won't be for a while, and probably not until right before they want to issue PR, that is my assumption, as the medical can be done and received by CIC immediately and your visa is good for a year from the date you do your medical. Anyone who was asked for a re-medical (as their's expired before PPR was given) did so and heard from CIC within the week about their PPR. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Really you'll just have to wait and see what happens with other people's applications as those who applied after December 15th start to hear from CIC about their applications.
