Does anyone know what the PAL means and what it is for? And why do some people receive it at the beginning of the application and others at the end?

Pre arrival letter
Pre arrival letter is relatively meaningless and is an administrator step. It goes not mean or guarantee your application will be approved.

PAL means so many things.. I don't understand why they use an abbreviation that's only used among friends.

PAL in this forum generally referred to Provincial Attestation Letter (related to study permit). I have never seen IRCC use PAL for pre-arrival letter.
As IRCC website:
Study permit: Get the right documents Provincial attestation letter or territorial attestation letter - Canada.ca
A provincial attestation letter (PAL) or a territorial attestation letter (TAL) is a letter provided by the province or territory where you plan to study.
