Same happened with us Yeti. One Friday got the prearrival services letter and following Monday got the PPR. And the ECAS was saying decision made when we got the pre arrival services letter. You should expect PPR next week for sure.

VO:
Colombo

RPRF:
June 2016

ECAS:
Medicals passed since October 2016

MyCIC:
You don't need a medical exam
Fingerprints: Required & submitted December 2016, but since end of 2017 it says no need for fingerprints
Background Check: In process (since December 2016)
Additional documents required. We will send you a message (for 2/3 months)

Whenever they sent something, it was always "we need X submitted within 30 days" followed by 12+ months of absolute silence.
