Hi Guys,
I got PPR email this morning. Below is my timeline.

AOR - 5th November, 2017
Meds Passed - 8th November, 2017
Additional Docs Requested (US PoC and Travel History) - 17th November, 2017
Additional Docs Provided - 18th November, 2017
IP2 - 4th March, 2018
PPR - 19th March, 2018

I have a question though. My CIC account does not have any update, BC is still in IP2.
And my PPR email says that I need to contact VFS office in India and they will send my passport to High Commision of Canada in New Delhi.

But I live in US on H-1B visa. Can I not contact VFS office in New York?

You should send an email to Ottawa team requesting updated PPR email to allow processing through VFS New York.

I had the same situation. I had applied in Canada while on work permit and I had to travel to India for Vacation (during this time, I received the PPR email) and Ottawa processing team sent an updated PPR e mailto submit passport for processing in New Delhi. Ottawa team is very quick in responding to these requests.

Hope this helps.

Also, when you submitted your passport. After how many days did you get it back.

God forbid if there is no way to submit passport from here, I will travel to New Delhi in a day or two.
