Hi
I got pre arrival on Jan 14 and still don’t receive Eligibility letter. Is this normal?
Yes, this is completely normal, many applicants wait a few weeks or 1–3 months or longer or some people even receive COPR without ever getting a separate “eligibility passed” message in their GCKey account.

Latest update: final decision - february 12, 2026:your application is in progress. we will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
 
I just got an email saying your "permanent residence application is ready for finalisation," and they ask for your UCI, name, address and height to submit. I just want to confirm, is it what you call a "portal 1"?

The email is from an official @cic.gc.ca
domain
It does not ask for fees or payment at this stage
The formatting looks official and matches past IRCC emails

If your reply confirming.
IRCC sends a second email (often called “Portal 2”) with login details for the PR Confirmation Portal.
