I have been asked to pay my RPRF . Does that mean my PPR is approved ?
Your application is likely to be approved. You are on a very good track. CIC asks for RPRF when the processing is almost done and the result is likely to be positive. If they were to refuse your application they wouldn't have asked for the RPRF, which is refunded in case of a refusal. Best of luck!

Interesting observation!!! Similarly, what in your experience would be the 'identification signal' for candidates who paid RPRF upfront?

If you pay RPRF upfront and subsequently your APR is refused during the processing of your APR then your RPRF is duly refunded. However, in this case since they have requested for the RPRF, it can be predicted that the application is likely to be approved. They wouldn't have asked for RPRF if they intended to refund it. My interesting observation will be clearer to you if you check out the following CIC web-link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/next_steps.asp

At the bottom of this webpage it's explicitly mentioned:

Decision on your application
We will make a decision on your application based on if you:

  • meet the eligibility criteria for the program
  • are admissible to Canada, based on the results of your:
    • medical exam
    • police certificates
    • background checks
You will need to pay your Right of Permanent Residence fees, if you haven't already.

Confirmation of permanent residence
If we approve your application, we will issue you a:

  • Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)
  • a permanent resident visa (if you're from a country that requires visas)
 
You got PPR notification in your CIC account?

Just got PPR. However it came in my cic account. Got account is updated email. Went to IP2 on 25th. Sent email on 27th.
 
AOR date : 4th May
Medicals Passed : May 29th
IP1 : May 30th and it was there for two weeks I believe
N/A 2 : June 15th - 20th
Since that day, it stuck at N/A2
Application : CEC Inland

Application Status : We are processing your application, we will send you a message when there is an update .....
Final Decision : Your application is in Progress. We will send you a message ....

My status is in N/A for the last more than a month.. Does any have any idea what does this mean ? its been 85 days since my AOR.
Tensed

I have got my BOWP last week ( I applied on May 5th ) , but no update on PR application

I just saw a case refused after paying RPRF on request from CIC, this is no criteria to be sure of eligibility passed. Just speculation based on common logic that why would they ask for RPRF only to refund, it might not hold true for all for cases.

Can you post more details or link to that "case"?

IP2 is a very good signal for application being on right track, though there are exceptions and people have rejections at IP2 also. So till you get the golden e-mail you can never be 100% sure my friend.
