1st portal email - How long after application is approved? Waiting for 50+ days

I still have the draft in my notes. I basically wrote this:

"My CEC application was approved on June 30 (almost three months ago - according to my GCMS notes). Yet, I am still desperately waiting for the first portal email. I know this is highly unusual, and I am worried that something went wrong between the approval and the launching of the virtual landing procedure. I know several candidates approved the same day, with the same AOR months, by the same VO, who received it in a matter of hours or days after the approval. I am asking you to put a note in my file, for the officer in charge of my application, to check if a step has been missed in my case."
Thank you Mstefan. Really appreciate your response. It would be helpful for many who’s file is in final stage.

Hi all

Question for those who received the First portal email. Did you guys respond to the reminder email with the info again?

@mstefan Would be helpful if you could let me know what you did.

Thanks

Tried calling again and finally got someone to pick up, but they refused to even open my file because it's not Afghanistan related. I tried explaining that the previous agent I spoke to 2 weeks ago was more than willing to help me and look at my file, but he wouldn't budge. The agent said it's not unusual to wait because of COVID and Afghanistan. I explained that people have been waiting before Afghanistan was even a problem, he tried blaming it on my PNP stream being paper-based and that it takes longer. I tried telling him the application is already approved and I just need the portal email. He didn't seem to get it or to care... This really feels like we're stuck in a black hole or something.

If you got a reminder, I would just reply again with the same information.

Never got the reminder. Just the first one. But I answered it anyway every day after that. Just in case :) Until I received the credentials.

Thank you Mstefan, this is really helpful!
Could you tell me how many times you sent this note before you got a reply from the agent? I've been sending webform for a week and I get auto responses every day

Here is another waiting applicant!
So glad to meet you guys.
I’m in exactly same situation like you guys.

Vo- Montreal
Second - Ottawa Ircc
Aor - Feb 18 (CEC inland)
Checked All passed and final approved on Jun 28 by my G-note but nothing changed in my account yet.

God I’ve never known that waiting without any notice or sign could be pretty harsh like this before. Plz let us know if anybody get any happy news.
Hope all of here really get a portal-email sooooon.

you’re in the wrong thread.

If you have PR status then Temp Resident Visa applications in process will be refused (or you can withdraw them)

Emailed my MP office, they got back to me saying they will follow up if I don't heard back from IRCC by the end of the month.

My MP got back to me as well and said they would reach out to IRCC this week. Let's see if we can get some answers... or better yet, some action!!!

That's great. Did you contact them Everyday with your requested info or just asking them to provide your credentials?
