I received a PPR email today from Cairo visa office. I thought it will be useful to others if I post my timeline here.

The PPR email was sent to me from "CAIROIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca". I cannot see any changes when I login to MyCIC. It still says background check not started and final decision not started. And the GCMS notes I received before did not show any activity since my application was transferred to Cairo visa office. It seems that CVO works offline and does not update the GCMS system or the MyCIC system. But who cares if they ended up accepting my application
Good luck everyone!
