What does this letter means? Do I need to wait for another message or Introduction or Introductory Letter or Port of Entry (POE) Letter of Introduction ?

I have a very good job and I need to quit my job to go to Canada, is there any posibility at the port of entry when I arrive in Canada to be declined or refused in some way?

1. The letter you have received is a generic biometrics information email.
2. If you scroll down, you should see your POE letter, if it's not available yet give it a few days if your application is already showing approved.
3. I am assuming you didn't get a passport request as you are from a Visa exempt country, check if you might need ETA before you travel.
4. About your job, this is a decision no one else can make for you. You can be denied entry in to Canada even if you are approved to come here at the POE or can even be removed from inside Canada. A lot of things can happen which normally don't happen to people who don't commit fraud.
5. If the POE does not arrive before your travel date, you are still good to travel till the time you are from a Visa exempt country and don't need a visa to travel.
Good luck.
Thank you very much!

In the meantime i got the aproval letter I attach first part of it:

Dear AAAA BBBB,

Your application to work in Canada has been approved. A permit authorizing you to work will be
issued to you on your arrival to Canada following an examination by an officer of the Canada
Border Services Agency, subject to your compliance with the requirements of the Immigration
and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations. The officer will ask to see this letter, your
passport and may request to see your supporting documents. Do not pack these or other
valuable papers in your checked luggage. You can find out more about which documents you will
need to bring with you by visiting .

I do have 2 more questions,

1. Yes I'm from a Visa exempt country, I only need ETA, I have traveled with the actual passport to Canada and I have a ETA available linked to this passport, but here it comes the question. My pasport & my wife's passport expires a few days before she finish the study programe March 2020.
Can we make new passports before we fly to Canada? and of course applying for a new ETA for both these passports.

2. What to expect at the airport officer when I arrive in Canada?
