Hi everyone,

I’m feeling quite worried and hoping someone here has gone through something similar.

I received the IRCC PR portal (P1) email. I am the principal applicant, but I applied using a representative, so the email was sent to them. They forwarded me a PDF copy of the IRCC email along with the IRCC email address.

The instructions say to reply to that email with the requested information. However, instead of replying to the original thread, I sent all my information in a new email directly to the IRCC address.

In that email, I included all required details (UCI, full name, email, etc.), so my application should be identifiable. Subject line included my Uci and application number.

My questions are:
  • Has anyone done this before and had no issues?
  • Will IRCC still be able to match my response to my application?
  • Should I ask my representative to forward me the original email so I can resend everything as a reply to that thread, just to be safe?
I’d really appreciate any insight, as I’m quite stressed about making a mistake at this stage. I applied February 4 2025

Thank you.
 
Bumping this in case anyone has had a similar experience. Any insight would really mean a lot right now. Thank you.
 
You provided the two most important pieces of data (UCI and Application Number).

Contact your representative: Ask them to reply to the original P1 email thread and CC you (or simply attach your information). They can add a brief note like: "Please find the requested portal information for the principal applicant below."

Wait for P2: Once that is done, keep an eye on your inbox (and your spam folder) for the Portal 2 credentials.

I can't comment to the specifics as I have no personal experience with it. But I do believe the email address for you to respond in the Portal 1 letter is different than the one that sent the Portal 1 email.

Can you call IRCC and see if the agent is able to see anything on their end?
