Its got to be anytime now for you. Its been 55 days from sponsor approval so far, and looking at my london spreadsheet you are approaching average processing times.
Did you email them a query in an attempt to get the PPR via email?
No i didn't know what to ask lol! I did put my email on the forms and ticked where it said about using it to contact you i think.

Is the summary something like:

Application arrival to Online Sponsor approval = about 4 weeks.

Online Sponsor approval to letter confirming Sponsor approval = about 1 week.

File sent to Visa office from Canada = about 1 week.

AOR to In Process active = about 4 weeks

In process to PPR = about ?????

I have seen the questions, most of them are common sense, but you can learn the answers easily, its not difficult.
The ceremony would be funny, you have to sing the national anthem haha
