Hi everyone,

I'm kind of desperate right now, it's been more than 50 days since my application was approved (July 2th), and according to my GCMS it's also been transferred to my local

I've noticed that it's not quite common for applicants to wait that long just for the first portal email. Generally, the longest wait after the approval seems to be for the credentials email, and the next steps...

1. My local MP has asked for a status update from IRCC, and of course, their answer is completely useless, they just repeated what I already knew, without addressing my concern.
2. I've sent an email to IRCC.ClientPortal-PortailClient.IRCC@cic.gc.ca asking if there was a technical issue, still waiting for an answer.
3. I've raised a web form today, asking for clarification, and I don't expect an answer before next week.
4. The cic.gc.ca domain is whitelisted in my email client, and I have received every communication so far, so there is no possibility that it went to the spam folder.

Is there anything that I can do? It really seems odd, like if my application was lost/forgotten somewhere. Would hiring a lawyer help?
Has anyone here had to wait for a longer than normal time to get the first portal email after approval?

I just don't know how much I should wait before trying to do something other than contacting them and getting their bs answers every time.

Hello everyone,
I applied for PR July 2023. I received pre arrival email on September 21st, 2024 and then later on followed by email for eligibility approval on September 27, 2024 and as of now almost more than 1 and half month I did not received any email regarding portal 1.

I am so much confused where I shall contact to get update on it. Normally I heard people get portal 1 email request with in one month after receiving eligibility approval email.

Can you please guide me. Thanks.

What is the waiting time now? I’m curious to know how long the process takes these days. Also, is the website https://canadavisa.com.br/ reliable for eVisa applications? I want to make sure it's a legit platform before using it. If anyone has applied recently, how many days did it take for approval? Would love to hear about your experience

PORTAL EMAIL RECEIVED!

Here is the interesting bit. Last week after contacting my MP and submitting dozens of webforms, calling IRCC like 4 times I finally had enough and sent an email to the Portal team IRCC.ClientPortal-PortailClient.IRCC@cic.gc.ca - In that email I explained that my application was approved over 50 days ago and I had not received any correspondence from IRCC about the Portal. I then provided the same exact information they usually ask for in the 1st portal email (names, DOB, UCI, Option A to manage the account for both myself and spouse etc). I didn't have much hope and thought for sure they would ignore it. But they didn't.

When I received the portal email today I received the 2nd email (the credentials one) straight away and they had already set up the account for myself and my spouse based on the information I provided in my email to them. So I went straight to confirming my address and uploaded photos and that's it. Now waiting for COPR and PR Card

I highly recommend emailing them. Here is what I sent to them:

*********************************************************************


Good afternoon,

I was informed by an IRCC call centre agent that my PR application was approved/all stages passed on XXXXXXX. Despite this, to this date I have not received any correspondence for the PR Confirmation Portal from IRCC. Therefore, in an effort to ensure that this is not the result of a missed email or a technical error I am hereby providing you with my relevant information for the PR Confirmation portal.

MY NAME
DOB: XXXXXXX
Application #: EPXXXXXXXX
Email: XXXXXXX
____________________________________________________

- Email address I would like to use: XXXXXXX
- I am choosing Option A to act on behalf of my spouse

Myself (Principal Applicant):
Name: XXXXXXX
UCI: XXXXXXXX
Email: XXXXXXX
Original entry date: XXXXXXX
Date of last time entered Canada: XXXXXXX
Location(Port of Entry): XXXXXXX

Principal Applicant's spouse:
Name: XXXXXXX
UCI: XXXXXXX
Email: XXXXXXX
Original entry date: XXXXXXX
Date of last time entered Canada: XXXXXXX
Location(Port of Entry): XXXXXXX


We are both currently in Canada.

Please reply to me at this email address should you need any further information or clarification regarding the above.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
