But i haven't received the IPA letter, does it usually come before the iEnquiry status change or after?
So elated right now

edit 4th Jan 2017
in case someone wants to know how I plan for the completion of the formalities, this is what I did
26th Dec '16
- received PR IPA letter at night from landlord
- booked appointment at 11th Jan '17, this is the earliest I could book at that time.
- registered medishield through CPF portal, don't do it by mail unless you really love waiting 10 days for it, the medishield acknowledgment letter can be printed instantly.
- went for medical checkup (xray and hiv test) in early morning
- request my manager to sign the ep152 form
- take selfies
- collection of medical results
- happened to found earlier slot at 4th Jan, immediately took the spot and request for leave
its time

also your turnaround time for the EP152 may vary, as some companies have lots of tapes ... my manager happened to be the company co-founder so getting him to sign the letter was a breeze
if you're quick enough and the planets aligned, you can really do finish everything within a week or less
