PR confirmation portal timelines

[casualpunx]

After 23 days of waiting, my e-CoPR is finally here, but it didn’t come by its own. I replied to their portal email several times during the past 10 days asking to send my CoPR. Finally someone noticed my email and sent my CoPR 15 mins after my last email. There is one minor error on my document (the original date of entry) which I have already reported. Guys don’t just wait for them to send you your CoPR. Reply to their portal email again and again until they notice. Don’t send your email in early morning, at noon, late afternoon or on weekends. Keep your message very simple and short and provide them with as much information as possible such as UCI, application number, full name, date of birth, etc.

Here is my timeline:
First portal email: Aug 27
2nd email: Aug 29
e-CoPR: Sep 22

Good luck

Could you let us know if you can go further than this stage as i stuck at this stage since June.

My other plans were to send them a letter to their office address in Ottawa.

still waiting for portal email..

this was the content in mail 1:
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). In the portal, you’ll confirm that you and your dependants are in Canada, provide your Canadian address and submit your photo to create your permanent resident card. You need to access the portal yourself. Your representative cannot access the portal on your behalf. If you are a representative and receiving this message on behalf of a client, you must forward the message to your client. Next steps:  Reply to this email and confirm the email address you want to use.  As the principal applicant, you’ll act on behalf of your dependants. If you would prefer your dependants to have their own accounts, please indicate so in your reply to this email.  In your reply to this email, copy and paste this template and fill in the information for yourself and for each member of your family. If you are not sure of the exact date(s) of your entries to Canada, you can provide your best estimate.  Name:  UCI:  Emailone for the whole family)  Original entry date:

second mail:
We sent you an email recently about IRCC’s new secure PR Portal where you can now confirm your permanent residence (PR) status without an in-person interview. If you’re a representative receiving this message, please forward this email to the clients you represented for their PR application until they were approved. Using the confirmation portal is the equivalent of going to an in-person landing interview – only the applicant can do so. To confirm your PR status using the portal:  Reply to this email and confirm 1) the email address you want to use and 2) which option below you choose for your spouse/partner and dependants 18 years or older when you applied: o Option A, you’ll act on their behalf. o Option B, we’ll create new accounts for each of them. Provide a unique email address for every dependant included in your application (spouse/partner and 18 years or older at the time you applied for permanent residence).  As the principal applicant, you’ll act on behalf of your minor dependants (under 18 when you applied for permanent residence) and any other dependants you choose. We’ll create profiles for them under your account. If you’re not acting on their behalf, each member of your family will have their own username and password.  In your response, for yourself and for each member of your family, copy and paste this template and fill in the information (check your passport for the dates and location):  Name:  UCI:  Email (as set out in this message):  Original entry date:  Date of last time you entered Canada:  Location where you last entered:

@indranilroy1990 link your PR card application in my CIC account. They don't always update portal. My card has been mailed without photo being accepted.

Linking PR Card application;

1. Login into your CIC account as you usually do.

2. Reach the page where you click "Check full application status" to view your application and messages

3. But do not click on that rather click on " Add (link) your application to your account"

4. Select the "Category" from the dropdown as "Permanent Resident Card"

5. Under Application Details, from "Please select one" select "Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and Family Name"

6. Put your UCI as it is NO SPACES and NO HYPHES

7. Put your Family Name as on you CoPR - UPPER and LOWER CASE matter here

8. The tricky one, Place of Birth Section. Here "City/town of birth" is very very crucial. Copy it as it is on your CoPR, any commas, upper/lower case, spaces, just copy it here.

9. Select your "Country/territory of birth" from the drop down

10. Next section is pretty easy as you just select your "Date you became a permanent resident" from dropdown. This is the day you did your landing by either flagpole or landing interview

11. Put "Country of Citizenship" and "Current marital status" from dropdowns.

12. Click "Search for my application", if all the inputs are correct then it will show you that the system has found your application. You just have to click Link my application to account and it will now be shown on "View the applications you submitted" page with your Permanent Residency application.

Thanks for the message. Does the CIC portal show any more details after I link my PR portal? What details would i expect to see in that case?

@indranilroy1990 Once you link your PR card application you will be able to get update about your PR card such as it's mailed or not

i received both and replied both, got COPR the next day.

I directly got mail 2. Never got mail 1. I have not even submitted my address and photo. Is that something to be worried about?

Please answer the below situation

1. travel outside canada while waiting for portal credentials - once portal crediential came, can i fill it or i need shouldn't fill , since now i am outside canada. what to do in this case

You can not and You are not allowed to use portal outside Canada. It is only for in Canada people. If you receive email of portal, reply back about your current address as mentioned in that email. In most cases, they transfer application to that country. However, they will never inform you about transfer. If you have valid TRV, you can travel back to Canada before it expires. Carry copy of email of portal and show at airport if they ask anything.
if your Trv has expired while you are outside Canada, contact to canadian visa center in your country and send them email you got from ircc of portal and they will advice you what to do.

You can only get PRTD when you have COPR. copr can only be got after confirming your presence in Canada.

2. traveling outside canada while waiting for ecopr - can i apply PRTD and come to canada after ecopr comes or what to do in this case

Prtd can only be got after receiving copr. For copr, you must be in Canada. Or if your application has been transferred to another country while you are outside Canada, contact that country' canada visa center .

3.traveling outside canada while waiting for PR card . - if i my freiend bring the PR card , can i come to canada without PRTD

Other than you, no one is allowed to receive PR card legally.

[remo456]

No bro, I got the Portal email yesterday, I am completely confused on how I should proceed whether have my file transferred to local office or fly back to Canada. But I dont see any flight tickets available until Oct 10th, which is 20 days from now.

Any suggestions?

I was in same situation when I was in home country. I had replied to the email that I am in home country. Ircc didnt reply anything after that.
After 2 months i came back to Canada and informed to ircc through webform and replied to same portal email with my current Canadian address .
I got reply from ircc that my application was transferred to home country. However, they have forwarded updated info to relevant office and they also advised me to inform to home country canadian visa center.
