Background in Process - Nov 2, 2017

I called IRCC today. He said my background check has been completed although my online account still show it in process. He said everything looks good and just waiting for the final review. I should expect PPR within few weeks. Never gave a time frame. I asked him to put a note on my file that I have already passed the processing time, he said that my officer knows about it and he is also impatient to close the file. He was really nice and answered every question in the best way possible. Also, this was the first time I called IRCC so he took some time to update my file: addresses and contact numbers.
I am planning a trip to India from mid Feb to mid March and I told him about it and asked him what his suggestion would be regarding applying for a TRV as it expired this year. He said although I should receive PPR very soon, but to be on the safe side I should apply for TRV so that I have no issues with my travel.
I really don't know what to do. I haven't booked my flights yet so I am going to wait till New Year. If I get PPR before that, I would book my flights the same day. And if not, I will apply for a TRV in Jan first week and book my flight then.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
I called them about two months ago that time agent told me everything is done just final decision left..he said i will get something very very soon means in days but here i am after two and half months after nothing yet.... my visa expired also just waiting this whole thing to come to an end ....so fed up... in 19th month... may 16, 16 applicant

June 30, background in progress this morning
 
chemical and biochemical engineering

may i know what is ur major?

Electrical Engineering.
Nth to worry. This is normal for them to check BG but it just takes longer if you have some sort of academic background too. They asked me to send my spouse's Canadian citizenship proof (got married last year). So this means they are collecting more information from me in their BG check process
