If you go for upfront you do that in your own risk. If you have family members included in your application then I would suggest you wait, if not, then go for it.
The only advantage is time. When you get Medical Request from the embassy it will take some time to make an apointment at the designated clinic. The risk associated with doing upfront is that you do not know whether you'll get to that stage. There are cases when applications are rejected during background & criminal checks resulting positive, misinterpretation etc.
Also in addition to what Sookie85 has said, Every medical is valid for a period of one year, and u might be asked to go for another medical if ur application isnt finalised within a year from time of upfront medical.
It can also put pressure on ur Landing time if u are an outland applicant as ur medical musnt expire before u land in Canada.

Thank you for your advise.
Actually, I am frustrated due to this killing wait and above all I know most of people with AOR in December 2015 already done medicals.

I visited my local VO last week and was told the following about upfront medicals:
"It is a major problem when people do upfront medicals as they have to go into a system where ALL OF THE WORLDS upfront medicals are and we then need to link each medical of each person in the application to that application which takes a lot of time and can result in your application being delayed."
I would strongly recommend that you do NOT do upfront as this may complicate/delay your case and there is NO PROOF that it actually speeds up the process.
I have received AINP and planning to file application with Federal for Permanent Residency. I am in a confusion
regarding signatures on PR application and other forms. My current signatures are slightly different from the passport signatures which is 8 years old. is it a issue ? If so, please suggest me a solution for the same on urgent basis.
I had a chance to check with MP about my application.
And its on background check already.
I am August 12 applicant. Just finished medical last May 30, 2016. Turning 12 months of applicationtomorrow.
I pray that everyone should be getting PR the soonest.
God bless everyone!
