Thank you for your advice.I will advise you come back soon. I was in a similar situation some few months ago. Travelled out of the country a few days before portal 1. After submitting family details, I couldn’t return because I needed a PR visa to return to Canada, which took me almost 2 months to get. If you are done with whatever you are doing, I suggest you get back before portal 2.
The stress if you’re stuck outside will break you!
but we informed IRCC that I would return in couple of days. I was inside canada on work permit and still hold valid visit visa.
I think, valid visit visa will allow me to enter canada. Please share your opinion on this.
how you sorted while you were outside and got portal1?
thanks.
