Background check has 2 parts... Canadian Background Checks and London V.

Canadian Background checks are done using your fingerprints taken during biometrics submission.

After that file is transferred to Londo VO and following checks are done;

Issue AOR-2
Verification of File Completion for SPouse visa category
Checking/verification of PA eligibility under spouse visa category
Send Pre-Arrival Services email after Eligibility is Passed
International Background check starts - You should see an ghost update on your GCKEY profile as "Profile Updated" when it starts and when it finishes.

After that, ECAS status changes to Decision Made.

Later, PPR
But my friends file is transferred and she has not received biometric letter yet

Your application processing is complete from LVO side. ECAS showing Decision Made confirms this.

In some cases people receive PPR email/letter in GCKey, a week after Decision Made on ECAS. But generally it is quicker. GCKey will be updated once you get PPR letter.
Keep checking your inbox/spam folder for PPR. Or wait another week and email London Office if you've not received PPR after Decision Made.

Congratulations first of all.

Even though it's within two days in most cases, it might take upto 2 weeks from Decision Made to PPR.

Keeping checking your GCKey and Inbox/Spam folder of email. If you don't receive PPR email in two weeks after your ECAS shows Decision Made, then email London Office and they will send your PPR again.

But don't worry, you'll get it soon. In very rare cases PPR is not actually received.

My friend with May submission date also got DM on ECAS on Nov 8th. He reached out to MP office and they reached out to Immigration office on his behalf.

They told him that once you see DM, the file then goes to Visa Issuing Department which sends out PPR in about 1-2 weeks time.

Rest assured, once you get pre-arrivals and DM on ECAS, your case is approved.

So Enjoy !

It means that your profile is going through detailed security clearance by security agency of canada and pakistan which can take anywhere from 6-12 months and CIC has no power on it.
