Thanks for the info.But I didn't send any email or raise webform to prioritize my application.As it was not even a month was completed since I submitted my application.
IRCC sent this email on their own.Once I received this email,then I submitted the webform immediately using the link provided in the email.

Two days after receiving this email I got my passport request letter.

Hello,
I also received similar message on 14th day after submitting webform to prioritize the application.
which visa office did you select while submitting the webform using the link provided in the email.

thanks
