I have also the same timeline except medical as my medical passed yesterday on 03-April on medical request which was generated on 28-Mar and waiting for final approval.

Final approval means on the cic website where they will mark as approved and u will be sending ur passport after that. Correct me if I am wrong.

I am really not sure. Mine passed 2 weeks already since submission and all my dependents passed their medical except me which is the main applicant. All of us did the medical exam on the same day. So I am really confuse what's happening now.
