Can I use the same Email, which I created a Portal account to submit PR application, as the "Personal email" this time to reply the Portal 1 ?
I would prefer to use a different email. I used the same email when I got the P1 email, 3 weeks have passed and no sign of P2 credentials. I then replied again to P1 email and provided a different email address (the one without any existing Permanent Resident Portal account) and got the P2 credentials in few days. Not sure if it's a coincidence. But the website mentioned "Do not create the portal account yourself as it will delay the process, IRCC will create it for you".

This information is for those who do not have an account. But a lot of streams right now accept only online applications, and you are sending them exactly via the PR portal, so it's ok to have an account. The only difference is that when you don't have one - they create it for you and will send you a username and temporary password that is valid for 14 days. And create a PR confirmation tab there for you ofc. If you do have an account - they will just create a PR confirmation tab and will tell you to log in with your existing account. Having an account does not postpone or delay the process, my colleague got his P1, P2, and eCoPR during one week from Oct 12th to Oct 19th, and he had the existing account that he applied for PR with.

Yes. That's what I feel happened to my case. I applied for my wife's PR application online via the Permanent Residence Portal. So I have an existing Portal account. When I got the P1 email, I initially provided the email address of my existing PR portal account (the one that I used when I submitted by wife's online application). 3 weeks have passed no portal 2 email. Kept logging into my Portal account and no Permanent Confirmation tab being created. So I then decided to reply again in the P1 email but this time around provided my wife's email address and in few days she got the P2 credential and was able to login and submit declaration and photo. Our initial permanent residence portal account never got the Confirmation tab created. Now waiting for eCOPR.

Your might be unique since you already used the portal for yours and you did make use of same portal for your wife, possibly there was issues with that.
I had heard cases where there was delay with people's P2 due to the fact they had an existing portal and ircc was trying to create a new one for them. It was until ircc was notified that they had an existing portal, that was when they now updated the old portal with the P2 information.
 
Question. For those who are waiting for your eCOPR after submitting the declaration that you in Canada and submitted the photo. If you guys are currently on work permit or on a Temporary Resident visa that are about to expired, do we still need to renew/extend those visa? Or no need anymore as the PR approval is already done and just waiting for the eCOPR document?

Thank you

When you provided a different email address, did you write a comment for this issue ?

OR you just copy ,paste the template, and fill in a new Email ?

I'm not sure. I didn't use the Portal for myself as I'm already a Canadian Citizen, so the Portal account was entirely for my wife's application when we submitted it last year.

I did not comment or mentioned anything at all. I just copy and paste the template and replied as if I'm replying for the very first time. But this time around provided a different email address, my wife's email address.

After you did this, how long did you now get the P2.

Nov 14 - Got the P1 email and replied same day.
Dec 4 - Decided to reply again on the P1 but this time provided a different email address
Dec 5 - We got the P2 credential email

So I would say just 1 day. The following day after providing a different email address we got the P2 email. Again, not sure if this is coincidence.

Sorry for this seemingly unwise question: so we have P1 and P2 emails, which one is the golden email?
