Hi all. I have a question. My immigration consultant sent me the email that the permanent resident confirmation portal process has been started. Even though the email came from him I replied to it with the necessary information. I already have a PR portal where I applied for PR. Is the confirmation portal a different portal?
Your consultant would be talking about Confirmation of Permanent Resident- CoPR portal (Link:
https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login).
When the PR is at the last stage of approval, IRCC send an email requesting few details like UCI, email id, date when you first landed in Canada etc.
Once you reply to this email, IRCC creates a portal account and sends the credentials (user id, password) via email.
After which you are required to upload your photograph and mention your current Canadian address.
They issue you a Confirmation of Permanent Resident (CoPR) which can be downloaded using the PR portal.
Hope this helps!
Note: All of this happens for Candidates who are already in Canada as a Temporary Resident.
