Portal 1 is when you receive email from IRCC to confirm your details such as UCI/name/DOB/email/ if you’re within canada. Using the email you provide they will create a portal (not if you already have one linked to that email, they will ask you to login with same credentials)
Postal 2 is when you login your PR portal once requested by IRCC and submit your photo/address and declaration that you’re within canada.
Declaration is used for COPR.
Photo and address is used for PR card delivery.
COPR is also downloaded from that portal once its ready.
I was in the same boat. I was going to italy on Feb 18, received my P1 on Feb 17. I was only going for 6 days and came back on the 5th bussiness day and submitted the portal 1 request on my arrival. I received portal 2 within 5 days. In your case if you receive portal 1 before your trip you will have to submit the details coz you’re going out for 15 days. Because they will ask if you’re inside or outside canada in portal 1 and the reply should be within 7 bussiness days. If you happen to be outside canada when the P1 comes then count the number of bussiness days, if you’ve enough then reply to that on your arrival only, if not then mention the date of return in P1. Contact IRCC on your arrival. P2 is also declaring that you’re within canada.
I am not new to Canada myself. Yes I have not been here for 10 years but I have been here for 6 years and I have families that have been here for more than 15 years. The main thing I want to talk about as a peotected person is chance to even be alive. I am not talking of economic immigrants. I am talking of people like us who would have died if not for Canada's rescue. Simple.
How do I reply the portal 1…should i reply via my email..Because they asked me to log in to my permanent residence portal…am a bit confused…kindly assist. They sent a PDF to my email.

Hey everyone,
I’m a May 31, 2023 applicant. I haven’t received any updates since my pre-arrival and eligibility email in August 2024. At this point, I’m honestly feeling quite exhausted from the wait.
I’m also unable to link my application to the IRCC portal. According to my GCMS notes from mid-2025, my application was still in the background check stage.
The PR processing portal currently shows 3 months remaining, but there has been no communication so far.
Has anyone else in a similar situation experienced this?
