Hello Everyone,

I have a small issue here and i'm not sure if anyone is able to help. I feel so lost whenever I open this thread and read through it, I have no clue what Portal 1 and Portal 2 are for example.

I applied for PMP non express entry last November and it says " Submitted " under status, is it still too early for me to go through these portals or is that phase called portal 1?

I have not applied for the work permit extension that I received thru my email since my Work Permit expires January 2026 and I'm hoping this all ends with an acceptance before my WP expires.

Hey!

Basically, portal 1 and portal 2 are emails IRCC would send you when they approve your PR application

(ref. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/pr-confirmation-portal.html)
If you’re inside Canada and we approve your permanent residence application, we’ll send you 2 emails:

  1. The first email will ask you to respond with some basic information.
  2. The second will let you know we’re ready to confirm your permanent resident status.

Since you submitted your application in Nov, 2024 - you are still in the early stage. You'll receive an AOR first and then a couple of document required requests from IRCC.

Portal 1 and 2 starts around 7th or 8th month after application submission date. I don't think so you'd require work permit extension, if your application is complete and your forms are filled correctly, you should be able to get your eCOPR before 2026.

Hope this information finds you well.

My application status in Background says: We are processing your Background check, we will send you message if we need more information. My security check was pending for a while so does this means they already started processing my security to finalize my application? Can anybody share their status of Background check what it says to make sure if my application is in IP2, Thanks.

Very basic explanation of the process:

- You submit your application, also known as AR.
- You receive AOR (Acknowledge of received) around 4-5 months after submitting your application. With this AOR, you can apply for a BOWP (bridging open work permit).
Note here: if your nomination is employer restricted, you can't apply for BOWP. You must apply for a closed work permit.
- You may get ADR (additional document request) starting from this point in your application. Some (like me) have gotten ADR with AOR.
- Most PNP applicants get BIL (biometrics instructions letter) even if they have valid biometrics done in the past 10 years.
- You may also get a request for medical exams.
- PAL (pre-arrival letter) is another generic email, normally a good sign on your application process.
- You'll get Portal 1 requesting you to update some information.
- Portal 2 is sort of a confirmation that your application will be approved.
- COPR (confirmation of permanent residency).
- eCOPR (electronic confirmation of permanent residency).
- PR card delivered (last step).
