Received Portal email and DM on Ecas. May I ask the following questions:
1. What is the original date of entry?
I used to visit Canada when I was young, is it count as original date of entry? Or it’s the date when I first hold the study permit to study in Canada?

2. Location (port of entry): if it was Vancouver. I will just need to answer officers questions by telling him or her it was Vancouver airport (YVR). Is that correct?

Please and thank you.
Hopefully everyone will hear the good news soon.

Congratulations. What was your adr. I also stocked in adr .

Congratulations. What was your adr. I also stocked in adr .

Thanks. It was a police check from the country of origin and it needs to be sent directly from the police to IRCC.
It took me over a month as well.

Just checked gc key and got ghost update. But nothing changed. Is it normal?

You will get the update soon.
I had 2 GUs in between before I got the DM.

Thank you very much for replying.
Sorry I just would like to confirm. So in my case I will provide the date of myself entering Canada for visiting when I was young?

Please and thank you.
Have a great day.

I had the same confusion, visited as young and more recently several holidays to Canada. I gave the date when I first entered as a worker (or student if applicable), don’t think they wanna know previous entries. Received portal credentials hours after I had replied, so far so good!

***Hey guys,

just wondering how long it will take for IRCC to review PR portal??? It’s been a week and nothing has been confirmed yet!
Does it usually take this long??

Anybody who can answer me this question? I would really appreciate it. It’s just taking a lot longer that I thought. I’m in Vancouver, and thought process was faster?

I was doing some research about the date of entry and I found this post:

Yeah, it’s very confusing. No official definition of that.
So you provided the date as a study permit/ work permit holder when you entered into Canada?
I remember it’s the time when we have to see the officer to obtain the study permit or work permit.
I think should be this date?

Please and thank you.
Have a good day.

I can’t or don’t want to tell you do this or that, you might have to ask a lawyer. But in my experience they are not always logical in their reasoning, and I believe that they only care about the process of immigrating to Canada, whether you visited as a tourist before is irrelevant. Also, you’ve probably given a complete travel history anyway already. So in my opinion it’s the day you set foot to Canada with the purpose of establishing here. It seemed to have worked for me. But again don’t take my word as I would hate to give anyone the wrong advice. Good luck!
