As @batman mentioned, yung medical pwedeng gawin after loding or pag nacontact ka na ni CO. Pero marami dito, they did it even before CO contacted them. para malaman nila before lodging kung ok ba ang magiging result ng medical exam. Yung iba kasi nagkakaproblema pa, kelangan bumalik balik sa clinic ganun. Imagine kung after visa lodging mangyari yan. Mapressure ka sa submission ng result. Napraning lang ako baka mangyari sakin yon kaya inuna ko na ang medical bago magbayad sa visa.
If you think you won't have any problem sa medical exam, then you can do it after lodging

Once you received your ITA, you can proceed on completing the visa lodging and uploading the documents you have on hand.
Here are majority of the documents na ni process after receiving an ITA
AFTER ITA
(1) NBI clearance - need iprocess as close to the date of visa lodging kasi it might affect your Initial Entry Date
(2) Police Clearance (in country where you currently reside - example for me SG Police Clearance) - kasi need mo din yun ITA letter dito when processing. This also affects your IED
(3)Health examinations - you can generate your HAP ID first before visa lodging and completing your medical exam para ma link na sya sa visa application mo.
BEFORE ITA
You can prepare the following before ITA gaya ng mga astronaut na ka member natin dito na na overdose sa pagka proactive hahaha (which is napaka ok kasi mas mabilis ka makakapag lodge talaga)
(1) Form 80 (mabusisi ito at madaming kailangan ilagay at kailangan 100% accurate kaya bisitahin at gawin na bago pa man mag ita)
(2) Form 1221 (yung iba nag submit yung iba hindi, ikaw na bahala mag decide)
(3) Prepare your evidences for Member of Family Unit and Relationship evidence (for spouse)
By the time na na complete mo na yung online form that you need to fill out, I would assume na nasa 90% of the required documents e you already have on hand - so gawa na ng checklist and upload everything.
Ideally - para sa mas smooth na visa lodging, as soon as you receive your ITA e asikasuhin na agad ang mga requirements. It will probably eat up +3 weeks from ITa received date - then pag complete na ang documents, upload altogether na then process payment. Para malinis ang application ika nga and wala ka ng iniisip na naku may nakaligtaan ba ako o may naiwan ba ako?
But certainly, if talagang di maiwasan, you can lodge na and pede pa maghabol ng documents atleast (again ideally) 1 month after visa lodging. Meron din tayong mga kapatid dito na nag upload pa ng documents 1 week before na grant. Iba iba kasi sitwasyon pero syempre we don’t recommend na iprolong ang pag upload to avoid nga ang case officer contact. Also, note na if you upload docs after visa lodging, there is no option to delete (sakaling magkamali ng upload) - so ingat lang maigi.
Ang diskarte kasi natin dito is to submit decision ready application ( ika nga ni Ms. Rhea) para we can avoid Case Officer contact that could delay our application for a few weeks or months.
And I agree with @crankygrinch - if ma CO contact ka for a document na di mo na ready - remember na you only have 28 days to address the additional requirement - this will be so stressful pag nagkataon since napakaikli ng 28 days. Iwasan naten iyan.
Goodluck
Pag may question pa, post lang or pm - for added guidance
