Hello Everyone,

I have a small issue here and i'm not sure if anyone is able to help. I feel so lost whenever I open this thread and read through it, I have no clue what Portal 1 and Portal 2 are for example.

I applied for PMP non express entry last November and it says " Submitted " under status, is it still too early for me to go through these portals or is that phase called portal 1?

I have not applied for the work permit extension that I received thru my email since my Work Permit expires January 2026 and I'm hoping this all ends with an acceptance before my WP expires.
Very basic explanation of the process:

- You submit your application, also known as AR.
- You receive AOR (Acknowledge of received) around 4-5 months after submitting your application. With this AOR, you can apply for a BOWP (bridging open work permit).
Note here: if your nomination is employer restricted, you can't apply for BOWP. You must apply for a closed work permit.
- You may get ADR (additional document request) starting from this point in your application. Some (like me) have gotten ADR with AOR.
- Most PNP applicants get BIL (biometrics instructions letter) even if they have valid biometrics done in the past 10 years.
- You may also get a request for medical exams.
- PAL (pre-arrival letter) is another generic email, normally a good sign on your application process.
- You'll get Portal 1 requesting you to update some information.
- Portal 2 is sort of a confirmation that your application will be approved.
- COPR (confirmation of permanent residency).
- eCOPR (electronic confirmation of permanent residency).
- PR card delivered (last step).
 
I've lost all of my hopes on getting any updates on my File. I applied in aug 30th 2024 under non express PNP inside canada but since then ihavent got any update. Also applied for work permit on aug 11 2024 no update on that as well
 
I also applied on August 3 didn't get AOR till now. I have never heard anyone getting AOR after Christmas break. Lost hope
 
It has been extremely slow for AIP applicants, here is my timeline:
Submission date: march 19, 2024
AOR: may 29, 2024, criminality passed
ADR: October 17, 2024 and sent on october 24,
PAL: october 29, 2024 and eligibility passed
Info share passed and Background changed to "not applicable" on november 19, I called IRCC and was told that criminality is being processed (again) and security has not started. I have heard nothing since.
My application has being precessed for almost 10 months now, and it is taking longer than the 8 months shown. And it is not under conprehensive security screening according GCMS notes. It seems AIP is left behind when compared to others streams.
And I still have to wait for FD, P1, P2....

mine is similar, I have heard somewhere they sent AOR for 28/29 July 2024 applications yesterday. So hope it is pretty soon I guess.
