No movement yet, June applicant, CPCM office, keeping fingers crossed!!
Thank you! Fingers crossed to all of us awaiting for safe and timely reunification with our loved ones.
To your question regarding pre-arrival services letter, it's automatically sent out once the eligibility is passed. I could further confirm from my GCKey status that the date of eligibility review completed is the same date as pre-arrival service letter received.
"In October 2017, IRCC implemented an automated process to send an invitation letter to all eligible newcomers when they receive a positive eligibility decision in their immigration application."

That's correct - in the reference link it mentions that temporary residents and permanent residents already in Canada are not eligible to receive pre-arrival services. Only outland VOs send out pre-arrival services letters.
Good to know that I am not alone
Do you know if this office is actually working now? Thanks.

Congratulations!
Your visa office is CPC-M & as per your previous posts you submitted PCC etc back in Jan-Feb?
I think you are the first one to get DM2 from CPC-M after March.
Got CoPR today. Relieved.
Few of my learnings which might be useful for others
While PR is in process
* If your parents are in Canada or plan to come to Canada, make sure you get Canadian insurance as then you don't have to worry about claims if they require hospital admissions. Hospitals bills straight away to the insurance for inpatient admissions.
* MAKE SURE ADDRESSES are up to date for both, yes BOTH parents. For us, they assumed my mother was in India, and the file was sent to NDVO instead of CPC-M. It was stuck in DM2 since Feb as I feel none of the offices was working on it.
* If you have a valid reason to worry about PR, then call IRCC and explain your situation. I hope you will find the right agent who will be able to help.
* Currently medicals are being extended by 6 months. Call IRCC if medical is expiring, they should be able to confirm the medical extension date
* I think in the new process CPC-M sends the file to Local VO for final steps. I think CPC-M is trying to offload the work. It's all luck, which office and which agent is faster in processing the application.
After getting the PR
* Currently there is no waiting period for ohip so your parents are eligible for ohip when they land in Canada.
* If they need any medical assistance during the quarantine period, ohip will backdate/frontdate the bills after your parent's ohip starts. Do confirm this again with ohip
Finally
I have lived for 5 years in USA and have travelled to Europe multiple times. Canada is the best country. Thank god every day that we have been given the opportunity to immigrate to Canada, and plus our parents now. Never bad mouth about Canada.
I hope everyone's parents get their PRs ASAP.
