Hello, I received this email today. Do I just have to reply to the email answering the questions they ask??? What is this email about? Is this what is called P1?
Also, important question, I am applying for the PR with my wife and my 2 daughters. I received this email, with a pdf with my name in my gmail account, but.. I also received 2 other emails, in my hotmail account, one with the name of one of my daughters in the pdf, and the other email with the name of my other daughter in the pdf. For my wife, I have not received any email yet.
Does anyone know why I received 2 in my hotmail account and one in my gmail account?:? what should I do?
the email is the following:

This email is from IRCC regarding the Permanent Resident Confirmation Portal process, often referred to as “P1” in immigration discussions. Here’s a detailed explanation of your questions and what you should do
What is this email about?
This email confirms that your PR application is in its final stages. IRCC is inviting you to provide information for setting up your account in the PR Confirmation Portal, which will allow you to:
1. Confirm your presence in Canada.
2. Declare you are not currently a PR of another country.
3. Upload your photo for your PR card.
This step is essential for finalizing your PR status.
Do I just reply to this email with the requested information?
Yes, you must reply to the same email with all the requested information for yourself and all family members included in the application. Here’s a checklist for the reply:
• Full name (as it appears on the passport)
• Height (in cm)
• Eye color
• UCI (Unique Client Identifier, found on official IRCC correspondence)
• One personal email for the entire family (or specify if dependents need separate accounts)
• Current residential address in Canada
• Personal phone number
• Original entry date to Canada
• Last entry date to Canada
• Location of last entry (e.g., border or airport)
• Whether you are currently in Canada (yes/no)
Why did I receive emails at two different accounts?
It’s likely because you used different email addresses during the application process. Here’s what might have happened:
• Your Gmail account: Likely associated with you (principal applicant).
• Your Hotmail account: Might have been added as the email for your daughters during the application.
IRCC sometimes assigns dependent emails separately, but all dependents are still tied to the principal applicant’s profile.
What should you do?
1. Consolidate the information: Reply once from one email (preferably the principal applicant’s email, e.g., your Gmail) with details for:
• Yourself (Principal Applicant)
• Your wife (Spouse)
• Both daughters (Dependents)
2. Indicate if dependents need separate accounts: If your daughters are minors, you don’t need separate accounts for them, as you can manage everything on their behalf.
3. Explain the email discrepancy: In your response, mention that you received emails for your daughters in your Hotmail account and clarify that all dependents are part of the same family
4. Wait for the email for your wife: If no email arrives for your wife soon, you can still include her details in your reply.
