Verbal offer to contract signing takes about 1-2 months depending on how fast you are, and how busy they are. Takes awhile for them to process and finalise a package for you. Medical can be scheduled soon after the offer, usually the following week. The bulk of the time is for the security clearance which may take 1-2 as a process itself. So that usually takes the longest while you will the waiting with health check.
