Do you have a rough estimate in terms of days/weeks/months?
You can check other people's timelines here. My medical was passed on Feb 8 and received pre arrival letter on June 23rd. Still waiting for PR.

I was asked for multiple additional documents. So I think it took long for me.

What does Pre arrival letter signifies for someone inside Canada?
Does it means that the PR has been approved?

Can someone summarise the key take aways?

three things that I understood are
  • few Start up with certain criterias will be processed faster and jump the backlog que
  • all work permits will be open and for three years
  • one can study full time on this work permit without additional study permit
No details are available yet because these are only announcements and not yet documented. Particularly SUV changes announced by minister may take few months to become a law or rules.

SUV Processing time is increasing with every update. It has soared to 37 Months. What it indicates? Government announcements and immigration professionals estimations about faster processing of SUV files are not visible on Processing time tool. Even though get some relief when we see some movement on the files on this forum. Thank you every one who are actively participating on this forum.

I was asked 6 times.
1- forms, passports and military + medical
2- police certificate
3- business plan and proof of fund
4- business progress and tax returns
5- business bank statements
6- child’s documents

1-2 month between each ADR.

Our case is 36 months in July. As I predicted before, I will be one month away from PR for ever

The first ADR is personal information updates. (IMM5669,etc)
The second one is the company's operation updates.

why they didn't request in 1 ADR, like my case. It's so frustrating :(
