I recently received my PR Portal (P1) email asking for my details and confirming if I am currently in Canada. The instructions mention I should respond within 7 days.

However, I have upcoming travel plans and will technically be outside Canada on the 9th day, which is 2 days beyond the given timeline.

My questions are:
  1. Is it acceptable if I respond to the P1 email a couple of days late?
  2. What could be the possible consequences of replying after the 7-day deadline?
  3. Should I inform IRCC in advance about my travel plans to avoid any issue?

Reply on time with details of your travel plans.

Christy what’s the update on your p1 please? What did you reply them with and did they send you another p1, did you get p2 yet? I’m in a similar fix too

Hi, I replied to the email with my travel plans and return date as soon as I landed abroad, which was two days after the 7-day response period. Two weeks later, I received an email from IRCC asking me to provide all the required information once I return to Canada.
