Hi there. I created a PR Portal account because I thought that I needed to since I'm a permanent residence applicant, but I later saw on IRCC's website that I shouldn't have done it on my own as it would cause a delay to my application. I've already contacted IRCC via web form, but they haven't answered yet. I'm about to submit my passport tomorrow at the Visa Application Center in Manila for visa stamping, as they've already sent a passport request letter to me. Do I need to do something or not?
I ACCIDENTALLY CREATED PR PORTAL ACCOUNT
- Thread starter m4rk
- Start date
Are you sure you didn't create it when submitting the application? My rep created the application and then i got an email from IRCC to create the PR Portal account to view and sign it before submission.
My father was the one who submitted my PR application in Canada, but he didn't mention anything about creating a PR Portal.
But anyway, would that really cause a delay in my permanent residence application?
Hard to say. If anything I assume it will delay by a day or so. Can you at least see your current PR application there? If you can see it then i'm pretty sure there won't be any issues.
I can still see my PR application on my IRCC secure account and the IRCC application status tracker as well. But on the PR Portal account that I made, there's nothing on it. There are just some drop-down questions asking, for example, "Program under which you are applying."
There is no reason to worry. I believe that the delay they are referring to may happen for virtual landing only as they need to identify your account to enable this functionality or to create you a new portal account. As you already have PPR then you will not have a virtual landing thus no actual need for portal.
How many days it took for you to recieve P2 email and creating account actually created any issue
