this is taken directly from CIC site on pre arrival service

You can get free in-person and online services, if:

  • we approved your permanent residence application
  • you’re currently outside Canada
  • you have one of these documents:
    • a letter from us saying you can get pre-arrival services
    • a confirmation of permanent residence letter
    • a passport request letter that indicates Permanent Resident visa issuance
    • a letter from us asking for your medical exam results
    • a single-entry permanent resident visa
    • a letter from us letting your know you can pick up your permanent resident visa
Yes it doesn't mean confirmation that your application is approved or not but certainly a positive sign..
hope this helps

Oh wow, why not? What takes them so long? I am sorry to hear it is so long.,. But hope this wait will finish for you and you can join your spouse soon!
We’re in security screening, I don’t think we will get ppr before next month (or later). But they waited until the 11th month to start the background check ☹

hello,
Could anyone explain what is this pre-arrival letter? how long it takes to get passport request.
I appreciate your help in advance.
