I don’t think Montreal sends auto reply and it could 2 weeks or more to portal 2 email. We share the same timeline so will share any updates

Portal 1 Email - 25th AUg-2023 (Responded with required details, same day)

Portal 2 Email, eCOPR & PR Cards - Awaited

Applied Work Permit Extension - 19th May 2023 as Work Permit expiring on 28th Sept-2023.

As my wife is getting cancer treatment in home country, I applied for visitor visa as had no travel document to come back.

Got Visitor VISA approval Email today. Sent Passport to IRCC Ottawa. As per the approval letter, passport will be returned back within 14 days + shipment days.

Need Help to Understand: Thanks in advance, please

1. Whether visitor visa would delay my Portal 2 Email?

2. Should I wait for PR cards to travel to be with my wife? OR should wait for eCOPR and travel with the same?

3. I believe my work permit extension application will be aborted when PR cards are being processed. Whether my travel with visitor visa / eCOPR would have delay my PR cards?

Your suggestions, based on experience, are important and helpful, please.
 
Hi, sharing my timeline.

VO: Montreal
Portal 1: 4 August, reply same day, no auto-reply, no follow-ups
Portal 2: 28 August, submitted declaration, address and photo same day
eCoPR: waiting

Is there anyone who got portal 2 by end of August and has received eCoPR?
 
Hey everyone, what happens if I cannot declare a dependent in Canada for Portal 2? My son had to step out temporarily for family reasons, but he is coming back. Does the process of review from IRCC go independently (declaration, mailing address and photo) per UCI or does this situation put the full application on hold? Merci
 
Hi folks! My representative received an email from IRCC for me on 28 July said "READY FOR VISA" giving instructions for submitting passport to IRCC from overseas. But I am now staying in Canada so my representative replied on 3 Aug via Webform requesting virtual landing. Since then we got no further response from IRCC amid our follow-up emails and calls to IRCC. Could anyone share experience on the similar issue? million thanks.
 
What this update means? "We received your enquiry" - I have two of this updates on my tracker one in Aug 25 and other in Sept 1.

The virtual landing process timeline based on experiences shared by others varies from days, weeks, or months. The longest timeline I read was 5months before they received the virtual landing email.

In my own experience, I had "READY FOR VISA" email June 13 and I requested for virtual landing the same day via webform. I received the first virtual landing email(portal 1) on Aug 30.

Guys,
Received portal 1 email on Aug 28, replied on same day but I did not receive any auto email regarding the mail is received.
Could you let me know if we need to receive the auto mail or its fine hoping the visa office received our email?

You do not need to receive the automatic reply. Be patient, Portal 2 could take between 15-30 days from Montreal (based on July-August timeline). To be more precise about timeline VO Montreal the quickest was Garrysingh (28-07-2023, he got P2 on 7 days), the Longest was Eltorkman (06-07-2023 got P2 in 46 days). median was 25.31 days (for July-August).
