I have just checked my GCKey Portal and there was an update that my medical results have passed.

My timeline is as below:
  • 5 September 2019 - Applied for PR
  • 13 December 2019 - Received AOR
  • 24 December 2019 - Received Application Update E-mail (after which I could link my application to a portal account)
  • 6 September 2020 - Received request for Police Clearance Certificate (exactly after 1 year of application submission, may be it's just a co-incidence)
  • 8 September 2020 - Gave finger prints for RCMP PCC
  • 6 October 2020 - Mailed PCC from UK as I have lived there in the past
  • 16 December 2020 - Received a letter through email (not through portal) that I meet the eligibility requirements for PR
  • 2 February 2020 - Passed the medical exam (they have extended the medical exam they conducted when I claimed asylum.
  • Estimated completion date is 5 September 2021 (Changed from 5 May 2021)
Mine is the same timeline. Now I’m expected to get it in September. My timeline is behind. On my GCkey it does not say I passed medical and got AIP. But I got them all. Do not rely on this online system. I’m sure by May you will get decision for sure. Do you have overseas dependents? All the best for you.

It says to send IM0008, IMM5669, IMM5406, Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Passport front page and Police Clearance
Get these documents prepared - you can send it through web form or post juse make sure you attached this letter you recived from IRCC

If your application is link to Gckey usually you get an option there, when they request the documents you will see an option "Upload" where you can attach your documents and submit if your application is not link than check some other post to ensure what is the best way to submite documents these days concidering covid issues

I hope so we get it according to previous timeline. On my GC Key, it is saying eligibility in progress whereas already received a letter through email that I have passed. However, my medical is showing on GC Key. I tried calling them today but there lines were busy as always. No I do not have any overseas dependent. Best of luck to you as well.
