what does it mean when you get G number?
Once you applied, you are supposed to send an AOR, mean acknowledgement of receipt. Telling you it was received the date you submitted and that they started the processing and give you an address an application # that’s start with G normally you can get it in a few months

Does anyone know what happens if you already have PR portal account? Everyone seem to be saying after Pre-Arrival letter, they send PR portal request. However, I've already applied through PR portal back in March 2022. Will they request PR portal for me just just send ECOPR after Pre-Arrival?

Timeline:
Submitted online application through PR portal: March 2022
Requested police clearance certificates: Oct 2022
Linked application to IRCC portal: Oct 2022
Pre-arrival letter: Sept 2023

Received eligibility letter 4 days after pre-arrival which says background check in progress.

Heard nothing since. My PR portal shows application submitted. IRCC portal shows background check in progress and still checking eligibility.

Next they will send you an email to confirm some personal details. Then they will send you another email asking you to submit your photo for the PR card.
When you get the 2nd email, you will notice that your portal account has a new tab called "permanent residence confirmation". This is where you upload your photo.

Thank you very much! After uploading photo, do I have to wait for PR confirmation? Or is the second email confirmation of PR? I basically want to know when can I start working legally in Canada.

I have applied through online only , but in the letter I am seeing the application number starting with E ( which is my EE application number).

I got this letter named as - "Acknowledgement of receipt - Application for permanent residence"

"This letter confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada was received by Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through your account on August , 2022.
We created a file for your application. The application number is located in the upper right-hand corner of this
letter. You must quote this application number each time you contact us"

Afer you submit your address and photo, IRCC will review the info then send you the ECOPR. After that you will get your PR card in the mail.

if you have Ircc account, use this link to sign in and link your application to your account. If you dint have Ircc account, then use this link to register for new account and link your application.
Can I connect my file to GC account because I have representative. My representative told me if I connect my file to GC key account then my representative won't receive any updates on my file.
ECAS system not working in my file.
