@Miss bee
I received PPR mail for my name with families but I and my spouse are inside Canada and my dependent younger son is in home country. So, my dependent younger son submitted his Passport and one letter mentioned that I and my spouse are inside Canada. Then after two days, I received two portal 1 mails.
One has attachment for my name and second one has attachment of my spouse name.
So, I replied first mail with details of mine and my spouse. and I replied second mail with details of only my spouse. I did not mention the details of my dependent younger son and my non dependent elder son( age-25 , inside Canada on PGWP). Is it OK ?
Or I have to reply again with both son's detail ?
Or I have to reply again with detail of only one dependent younger son ?
I have two sons. One is 18 which is dependent on me and included in my PR application and he is in India.
Second one is 25 and He is not included in my PR application and he is in Canada on PGWP.
Please, guide me, as I am confused ?

Based on what you’ve described, it sounds like you handled the Portal 1 emails correctly for yourself and your spouse, since both of you are currently inside Canada and are included in the PR application. You’ve already submitted the necessary details for both of you in response to the portal emails.
As for your younger son, who is 18, dependent, and outside Canada, it’s also appropriate that he did not receive a Portal 1 email—he should instead go through the passport submission (PPR) and visa stamping process at the visa office in his home country. Since the outland process is different from the in-Canada eCOPR process, his information does not need to be included in your Portal 1 replies. So you do not need to resend anything or reply again with his details.
Regarding your elder son, who is 25 years old, on a PGWP in Canada, and not included in your PR application—there is no need to mention him at all. Since he is not part of the PR application, his details are not required in the portal process.
In summary, you do not need to send any additional replies. Your responses are fine as they are. Just ensure your younger son completes the passport submission process outside Canada, and you and your spouse follow the instructions through the PR confirmation portal to receive your eCOPRs.

Thank you very much for your quick and detailed response. I was confused as the mail has wording

***CLICK REPLY TO THIS EMAIL WHEN RESPONDING***

Welcome to the Permanent Resident Confirmation portal process. The attached PDF contains information regarding the confirmation portal process.
Next steps: In your reply to this email, fill in the information for yourself and for each member of your family
 
Will there be any problem if I apply in July and she comes to Canada in August as a visitor?
No, there is no problem.
You can absolutely apply for PR in July 2025, and your wife can enter later in August as a visitor, as long as:
  • She has a valid Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
  • You include her as a dependent (spouse) in your PR application at the time of submission.
  • Her intention to return temporarily (as a visitor) is clear to the border officer at entry. She must not claim she is coming to “stay permanently” unless her PR is approved. It’s common for spouses to travel while PR is processing, and it doesn’t negatively impact the PR file
2. Can she get any kind of permit here after arrival?
This depends on her situation and eligibility, but here are possible options:
A. Open Work Permit (SOWP) – Only After You Get AIP (PR Stage 1 Approval)
Once your PR application gets AIP (Approval in Principle), your wife may become eligible to apply inland for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP).
  • Eligibility: You must have AIP and live together in Canada.
  • Application Type: Inland spousal open work permit.
  • Processing Time: Usually 2–4 months.
If you apply in July 2025, AIP may come by late 2025 or early 2026, depending on IRCC’s speed.

B. Visitor Extension
If she’s not yet eligible for a work permit, she can:
  • Stay in Canada as a visitor (up to 6 months).
  • Later apply to extend her stay online before expiry.

C. Study Permit (If She Wants to Study)
If she chooses to enroll in a designated learning institution (DLI), she may apply for a study permit from within Canada.
But this requires admission, proof of funds, and other criteria.
Thank you so much
