Thanks for the reply! I just hope i could see the details a bit since so many people have talked about it.
Good luck on your application! Hope you will received eCOPR soon!
Can you also explain what is Portal 1 and Portal 2, why do they need 2 different portals for this step?
So basically the Portal 1 email requires each applicant's information like this:
Name:
UCI:
Application #: (All the same application number if you have other dependent members)
Email for the Permanent Resident Portal: (Can be the only one account and be same as the one you already created for the application)
Your eye colour:
Your height (please provide in cm):
Original entry date (YYYY/MM/DD):
Date of last time you entered Canada (YYYY/MM/DD):
Location of where you last entered:
Are you currently inside Canada? (Yes/No):
If you are not inside Canada, when is your expected return date?: (I typed
N/A because I'm in Canada)
If you are not inside Canada, please specify your current location (city and country): (I typed
N/A because I'm in Canada)
As you see, the Portal 1 asks whether you are currently in Canada. All you need to do is sending the information back to the same email address that sent the Portal 1.
After responding back, you will get the Portal 2 email soon which lets you confirm that you are in Canada, the mailing address for PR card(s), and photo(s) for each applicant.
In my case, I was able to login with my existing credential which was used for submitting the non-EE PNP application and uploaded photos for two persons.
You may take photo(s) on your own and upload, but need to fit into the photo guideline. (No worries because the system will let you know what is wrong.)
Disclaimer: I have no idea for some cases that an applicant is outside Canada when receiving Portal 1/2 emails, so you may search other folks' cases.
