The status on the application changed to approved and it says that you have to submit your passport to finalize the application.
But no PPR is showing up yet in the messages. Hopefully, they are still working on it in the background.

Well, I didn't receive the ppr yet. The status changed yesterday to reviewing eligibility.
No status update during the process. Just waiting for PPR now. Hopefully it comes through soon.
