Hello everyone,
This is to inform those waiting for their portal 2 email to try sending emails to all the respective VO, it really works wonders and brings instant results. It just happened to me now as I and my spouse (both inland applicants) had received our portal 1 email on January 26th and have been patiently waiting for the portal 2 email to drop but still hadn’t, not until I decided today to individually send emails including all the information that was requested by IRCC in the portal 1 email, to all the VO about an hour ago and it didn’t take up to 20 minutes, the portal 2 email dropped. Our application is in Montreal office.
So I’d advise those still awaiting to give this a try.
