When you write to IRCC, do they acknowledge if your file has been picked up by an officer yet or not?

Have patience, it's a long and hectic process with different stages, everyone has a different level of complexity, don't compare yours with others. Don't let it get to you, it's gonna work out eventually in sha Allah, we all went through it. Best of luck.
Pre arrival is always a good news, but remember background and security check is still in process and that can take long depending on your circumstances, I would suggest if you are in Pakistan or anywhere really, work with pre arrival services, it's not a just letter, it literary says pre arrival services, look into them, get your educational credentials assessed, learn about your future months in Canada, since when you are here, those services won't be offered to you, also you don't wanna come here and then waste time on stuff, trust me, it ll happen, just have patience.
Best of luck.
here what i found doing google search .. hope will give some idea what we facing or waiting !
What does pre-arrival letter means?
Pre-arrival services letter is good news., as it means you have passed eligibility assessment and on-completion of background check which takes awhile you will receive passport request shortly.13-Aug-2020
What is background check for PR?
Background check is a generic term for criminality check, security screening and information sharing. IRCC, CBSA and CSIS work together to do immigration and citizenship screenings.11-Jul-2020
So basically LVO officer are waiting clearance letter from CBSA and CSIS , before they issue PPR email !

Hi,
Congratulations.
Since I moved from Uk I didn't need anything except I booked myself for French classes, but I went through them thoroughly, I am sure if someone is coming from Pakistan, education credentials are something one should look into, as well as some language classes if they are not comfortable with the language. I ll recommend looking into education, language classes, your husband should go through them and see what suits the best for him
Best of luck.

It can take anywhere from 10 days to a month, but again as @armoured said, don't worry about it too much, the process is just starting, they don't always update ecas, believe it or not, my ecas said 3 lines, we received your application, we sent you information about your medical and medical hasbeen received, and it still says that and I have been in Canada since July, just pray hard and be patient.
Best of luck.
