Dear Folks,
After 6 days short of 7 months since applying for CEC, I just received my PORTAL EMAIL. What a relief after so many months of anxious wait.
Thanks to almighty!

Now have few confusions, if someone can clarify.

From the email PDF, I am asked to submit few details.

One detail is ORIGINAL ENTRY DATE. Is it the DATE of the very first time when I came to Canada? Please note, the very first time I came to Canada was on a VISITOR VISA for an official visit. and left after 2 weeks.

Then I came as a STUDENT >> now on OPEN WORK PERMIT.

So which date should I put there?


And also, all the necessary information to be REPLIED in the email right?

And as I understand, the PHOTO need to be submitted after I get the PORTAL ACCESS Credentials right? Not in the reply of the email?

Please let me know !
I AM SUPER EXCITED and will appreciate your help.
HOPE ALL THOSE WHO ARE WAITING...get the APPROVAL ASAP.

Congrats!
Just hit reply, and copy the 10 or so questions into your reply and answer them as necessary. For my original entry date, I came to Canada originally on a visitor visa, flag-polled 4 weeks later to activate my work permit. I used the date of my original Work Permit (then 2 years later on a OWP), no issues there. Photo is needed after you get the credentials to log into the PR Portal, don't need any photos in that email.

Thanks a lot Sean. Much appreciated.

So Just to further clarify, I should Use the DATE of my FIRST VISIT to CANADA (as visitor) or the date when I landed in Canada with the WORK PERMIT first?

Thanks. I contacted the mp twice. I think my mp(central Mississauga)is not helpful. For the first time he mentioned the processing time is 12 months, however the processing time on ircc website is 4 months. I told him processing time has been changed. He said it is not correct, is 12 months. At the beginning of June, l contacted him again, he just told me the status of each category.
