Yes approved does mean 100% PPR, just that they have not yet sent the PPR email... also in the reply I'm sure they mentioned that it has been approved and they will soon send the ready for Visa email.
Not really. However like in my case, I had emailed to ask about the visa office processing my PR. They replied by informing me that my PR had been approved. So basically if you send them an email asking about some query and if your Visa is already approved, then they respond by saying... Helps remove the anxiety...
Then the wait is only to formally get your PPR request.
From other forum, someone has given below information.. Helpful for guys stuck in IP2 . Especially those who know that their VO is ottawa
"Guys at IP2: I just spoke to a very friendly agent who confirmed that the application has been approved on the exact date that my application went into IP2. I asked her about the long wait and she gave me a reason that I had not really thought about. She said the office has been dealing with a massive back log that has extended passport wait times. So they are currently focussed on clearing that backlog before issuing a PPR email. She said that since the app is still within their 6 month target they have not prioritized sending out the PPR email. I hope this gives some relief to the guys at IP2!
*** very important information for applicants with spouse or common-law partner ***
I would like to share information this information with all you guys. I had been informed by Mr Mark Holthe a Canadian immigration lawyer at Stringam firm operates his business out of Lethbridge city in Alberta, that recently IRCC has changed the rules in regards to proof of funds for Permanent Resident Applicants settlement in Canada under express entry program. I have also called CIC and confirmed with agent about this.
Earlier acceptable proofs of funds by IRCC are following:
-bank accounts in principal applicant name or the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable investments in principal applicant name or the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable fixed deposits in principal applicant name or the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner.
Current acceptable proof of funds by IRCC are following :
-bank accounts in principal applicant name only, but not in the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable investments in principal applicant name only, but not in the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable fixed deposits in principal applicant name only but not in the name of applicant accompanying spouse/common-law partner.
I would like to request past applicants with spouse or common-law partner whose PR is approved/received to share their valuable inputs.
thanks

Thanks @ Moosad . Can you please share your profile and are you the principal applicant in your application ? if you are two applicants than the minimum funds to be shown is $15,312. As you stated above 70% would be about $10,718.4 showed under your name and remaining 30% i.e $4593.6 under spouse account. I am correct ?

Your application is likely to be approved. You are on a very good track. CIC asks for RPRF when the processing is almost done and the result is likely to be positive. If they were to refuse your application they wouldn't have asked for the RPRF, which is refunded in case of a refusal. Best of luck!
