Update: Passed my medical results as of March 4th. Also, got a request letter on the 4th to pay my Biometrics fee. Which I paid and uploaded the receipt as requested.
Does anyone know if ill be getting the request to go and submit my biometrics soon?
Update: Got Biometrics Collection Letter request on March 5th, 2021. Was able to book an appointment with Service Canada for biometrics collection the same day. Profile now shows that biometrics have been submitted and completed. Profile, now, also shows the biometrics number, date of enrolment and expiry date.

Thoughts? Is anyone else on the same boat and has checked the eligibility status?
Also, I have had a recent change on my passport as a new visa has been stamped for another country. Should I inform the authorities about this change on the passport and upload an updated copy? do I need to declare this change in the passport.
Hello,

Medical passed 12 February 2021
No biometrics needed as I did one before
Paid only processing fees (825cad)
My background check says we are processing your background ..... What does this mean?
If you haven’t paid your RPRF fees yet, wait for the request (mine came one month after MEP). Usually when you receive that, eligibility has been marked as recommend passed or passed nowadays. That I think, is the best time to call IRCC for the first time as there’s a genuine update on your file and you can mention to the IRCC call center agent that you received an update to your file and would like to know what’s that about (as some IRCC agents wouldn’t even bother opening your file if it has not reached 6 month processing timeline even if you insisted on asking for specific status of each step). If you get ghost updates, that’s great, as you can use that as a trigger to call IRCC, I myself have had 3-4 ghost updates and that helped me gauge which steps of my application was cleared.
if you’re asking “best time to call” as in actual time, I’d say try 5 min before 8 am local time, so you’ll be the first on queue. There’s also a callback feature for in-Canada applicants, so IRCC will call you back once your phone number reaches the top of the queue (usually within 30-40 minutes).

I had asked my consultant to change my job specific noc post ITA. But, I forgot to ask him if he made changes to primary job noc as well. Now he says he doesn't remember and isn't returning my calls. I will be meeting him soon. Kindly tell how to know what was my primary noc at the time of submitting my docs !
Also, if I order gcms notes now, two months post aor would it have any negative effect on my application. Additionally, do I get the information of the documents that I uploaded for my application post ITA.

ordering GCMS notes is a completely separate process from the EE process and in no way will it affect your application. If you’re in Canada, you can order for free at https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en
On the request page you’ll be given two options whether to request for (1) officer’s notes (this will show the status of your file as well as your PR profile — NOCs entered, language details, rep info, etc) or (2) the documents you submitted at AOR (IRCC will send you a copy of all of your documents in one PDF file). so if you have to order twice via ATIP. You can do this requests on your own as long as you have your UCI (10 digit number) and application number (starts with E) — you can find these info on your BIL.

Biometrics - Feb 23
My biometrics section still was showing “we need your fingerprints...” so I called in last Tuesday (March 2) to know whether they received my biometrics or not. Interestingly, the agent told me my biometrics is in progress rather received.
Anyway, here is where I stand
Criminality: In progress
Info sharing: In progress
Eligibility: not started
Security: not started
Primary Office: CIO Sydney Nova Scotia
Secondary office: CPC-Ottawa
Agent told me that my file is still with primary office.
My AOR is 9th January.
I am a FSW outland applicant applying from Denmark.
I have not received any update on my PR application.
I have never seen the progress bar or GU on my application.
It seems like FSW applications from February are starting to get medical updates and biometrics notifications and I dont have any update.
Should I be worried or should I get in touch with IRCC? I got upfront medicals done that my physician said will be transferred using e medical.
Shall i get in touch with my physician and ask them?
I am very worried!
