So you contacted the MP and then got portal 2 email?
Ha ha I wish. Is portal 2 the one where you get credentials and portal 1 when they tell you to give all your details?
All your MP can do is speak to IRCC directly about specific cases, which is impossible for us. My partner replied to portal 1 email on June 5th, we went to MP June 7th and she had 2 or 3 meetings or contact with IRCC in that time and brought up our case. All they said was that they had everything they need for landing. We did notice a message on our file we we think was that the VO office had been sent a message by our MP enquiring about our case. This was a few days ago.
My partner replied twice to the email, and I replied to mine two days ago. Yesterday we noticed we had a COPR number in tracker - then I read on a lot of places on here portal 2 comes within hours or a day of seeing that USUALLY. But ours did come through today, sooo?
Your MP cannot expedite your application, but they can check its status with a real human, and can send a message to the VO office - again they can’t speed it up, it’s more of a telling off and some people have noticed movement on their files soon after that.
Given everyone’s timelines at the moment you’ll probably get portal 2 before it gets to that point we just seem to be massively cursed, but it’s very easy to contact your MP and does help to feel like someone is on your side.
