Isn't that just a letter for prearrival services. AOR2 is when they say they have began processing your application at the visa office.
That's not an invitation to pre-arrival services, it's just a section of the AOR2 giving information about pre-arrival services for "planning ahead."

Hi guys! any updates? I got an official AOR2 yesterday from Mexico VO. But in the very end of the letter it says..

*Planning ahead*
If your application for permanent residence is approved, you will be encouraged to use free pre- arrival services funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Several online and in-person services will be available to you, your spouse and your dependents once your application is approved. These services can help you find out more about living and working in Canada. They can also help you take steps to get your education, work experience, and professional licences/certificates recognized in Canada, and access other free settlement services once you have arrived in Canada.
To learn more about these free pre-arrival services that you will be able to access before you leave, please visit the IRCC website (canada.ca/pre-arrival-services). Please note that in order to access these services, you must demonstrate to the service provider that you have been successful in your permanent resident application. Therefore, you should wait until you receive a positive eligibility decision or a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) prior to requesting these services.

anybody got the same AOR2?
That's pre arrival letter.

Congrats! Yeah, ours said the same thing and we got it on June 25th.

In our case, we are still waiting on background check and even the 6th line in ECAS, to confirm he passed medical. In our case, it's a bit more complicated, because he has a non-accompanying dependant. Until they process his declaration that she will not be sponsored in the future (again, more complicated than the typical), it won't show him as passed. THAT part is taking so long ugh... :( Hard to be patient.
