You need to notify IRCC that you are in Canada. There is different step to follow for virtual landing if PA is inside Canada.
This is not about landing, this is about sending passport to the visa office to stamp the immigration visa. I think still if someone is in Canada on visit visa they have to send passport to get the immigration visa issued and stamped in it.

the same happened with me today i have even not received any confirmation email after submission.
Same thing happened when I was trying to submit the application. Did you try to reach out to them? are you able to link your application? Got any email or confirmation? I didn't get anything yet.

Thanks,
Mona

To answer your second question, I entered the following and it worked for me:
  1. Application Number and UCI
  2. Passport details of principal applicant
  3. # of family members in application: 4 in my case (Sponsor, Co-sponsor, Principal applicant, Dependent)

Hope this helps!
