Yes its so confusing usually its golden email which is the confirmation of approval and to respond to that email within 7 days and then portal cerdentials. Don't know why this portal 1 and 2?? Portal was always only 1...Portal 1: Inland applicants will get an email saying their application has been approved and asking them to respond with a few details so that IRCC can set up an account for them on the PR Portal.
Portal 2: This is when you receive the credentials for your PR Portal account. You can then go in to complete virtual landing and wait for eCOPR to be generated.
