Timeline
I checked my GCkey account on July 12,2023 and I saw "decision made". No message from the IRCC.
I called the IRCC on immediately, and the agent told me that a pre-portal email was sent to me on July 6, but I did not see it it. I sent a webform to them with no response. I saw the Ontario Portal email on this forum, and I sent my details to the email that since they did not invite me to portal, I was inviting myself. Ontario landing Office actioned my email and forwarded it to Montreal Office for further action.

On July 19, I received a email from Montreal Office asking for my details, height, eye colour, date of last entry etc.. I replied it immediately. Then I started waiting for Portal 2. On July 26, I got another email from the Montreal Office with the same Portal 1 request. I also replied immediately. Then I started firing them with reminders with no autoresponse.

On August 4, I received a message from the IRCC that a PR confirmation link has been created for me on the portal I used to submit my permanent residence application. I login to.my account, and I saw the link. I replied on Sunday, August 6 with my photo and other requirements. Then today, I got my ECOPR.

Portal 1: July 12th
Portal 2: Waiting
VO Montreal

Just called and I've been told to wait, it might take some more time to get a reply for Portal 2.
I simply don't understand the criteria to get the next email, definitely not by date of reception/reply.

I got the portal 1 on July 13th and responded on July 14th and still waiting for Portal 2. I have sent 3 follow up emails (even 1 today) with no response. Will update in case I get any response/email..

My Work Visa expires on August 24th.
I already replied to the Portal 1 email (July 20th), and I am waiting on Portal 2.

If I received Portal 2 (and confirm in the site) but my eCopr didn't arrive until August 24th, Should I stop working, or can I continue to work?

You're right. I know people who sent Portal 1 on July 10th and received the Portal 2 on July 24th. (PNP Non EE + 1 Dependent)

I just called IRCC and the representative told me that it is normal to get portal 2 in 20-30 days. He said everything is okay from your side and just wait. It takes time for IRCC to make an account.

I think you can make it before August 24th...

If you don't receive your eCopr around August 20th you still have the option to submit a Bridging Open Work Permit.. (if you want to continue working, of course). The bad news about that permit is you need to pay for it, but they send a letter saying that you can work until a decision is made. (implied status).

Of course (and hopefully) you are going to receive your eCopr before that open work permit, in that case, IRCC refunds you around $100 for that Bridging Open Work Permit you already paid for.
