hey! Can somebody please help me, any advice is appreciated
I submitted my PR application (pnp not express entry) on April 13th, 2022 through the permanent residence portal. I received an email confirmation that my application is submitted and that I will receive an acknowledgment of receipt or AOR soon. It's been more than 9 months and I haven't heard anything from IRCC. I do not have an application number. I tried to call IRCC but they want my client number to talk to a representative, which I don't have. Is there any way to talk to a real person there without knowing your Client number or application number?
If there is anything I can do to speed up the process please let me know, as in the last 9 months I did not see any progress in processing my application.
Are you inland or outland applicant?.

If you are Inland and have a permit, then you will have UCI number in the permit. If you tell that number they will be able to track your application. I recently called IRCC with UCI number and got the updates. UCI number is permanent and it stays the same even after applying for PR. I am also waiting for AOR.

I finally slept well last night after a long time. The stress, the weight on my shoulders has been lifted! Another friend who applied same day as me, with an almost identical timeline also got P1 yesterday (I'm SK, he's AB).
Congratulations, really happy to hear this.

Anyone know why on portal 2, when I upload the picture, it keeps getting stuck on "Your photo is being validated"? It's like just stuck there and the the little circle thing to suggest it's uploading doesn't do anything. Maybe it's IRCC and they can only accept 1kb per minute LOL.

PS if you're waiting for portal, go get your best photo done while you wait. I wore a lumberjack shirt and got Wal-mart to redo my photo for free

glitches as usual. Maybe try sign-in again, clearing the cache, clearing cookies, changing browser, changing device, changing network, you know, "have you tried turning it off and on again" stuff lol

and FYI once you upload the photo, there is another glitch too, i.e. showing you still need to upload the photo but once clicked in the uploading section or resign-in will correct it; but only to repeat it self.
Also even when the ecopr or even the PR card has arrived, it's still possible that the portal is still showing "in review with IRCC"

BTW congrats! I'd optimistically say your ecopr is coming in next month at a high probability according to the current processing time

Is a new photo mandatory? Needs to be no older than 6 months?

@MudMoverGeorge CONGRATS!!!! That was a long wait since 2021!! Grab some beer, celebrate and finally sleep in peace :) Fantastic!!

Guys, I am so excited. I got an email titled "IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal" and in it I also got a letter (pdf) which states "Your application for permanent residence has been approved. The final step in processing your application is to confirm your permanent residence and create your permanent resident card. You’ll complete this process through the Permanent Resident Portal (PR Confirmation)......blah blah blah"

I have responded to that email confirming the right email and providing other required information.

My Questions
- Is this Portal 1? or is that letter the eCOPR??
- What should I do next? should I go to https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login?? Or do I have to wait for some other mail??

Thanks guys!

No it needs to have been taken in the last 12 months prior to submission. But I wanted to wear my lumberjack shirt for it. It's the Canadian thing to do. The PR portal is full of bugs but I kept trying till it uploaded and seems fine. Now in review with IRCC

That's portal 1.

You will wait for the next email which will be portal 2, and they will create the PR confirmation tab in your PR portal account (they have to do it). There you can access the address and upload photo function which you will submit to IRCC.

congrats! it's the portal1.
the next step would be waiting for the portal2 email and uploading the address and photo.
then, it's waiting for the ecopr; and the PR card after that

btw there should be auto-reply after you replying to the portal1 email like"
