Your application for permanent residence is now ready for finalization pending the confirmation
of your permanent residence status. You’ll complete this process through the Permanent
Resident Portal (PR Confirmation).
You must have an email address in order to complete this process. You need to access the
portal yourself. Your representative cannot access the portal on your behalf. If you are a
representative and are receiving this email on behalf of a client, you must forward this
message to your client.
Next steps:
Please provide the information below within 7 calendar days to ensure there are no undue
delays.
• As the principal applicant, you’ll act on behalf of your dependants (if applicable). If you
would prefer your dependants to have their own accounts, please indicate so in your
reply to this email and provide their valid email addresses.
• In your reply to this email, copy and paste the template below and fill in the information
for yourself and for each member of your family (if applicable). If you are not sure of

Confirming your permanent residence status using the portal
You will receive an email from the Permanent Resident Portal that will require you to confirm
that you and your dependants (if applicable) are in Canada, provide your Canadian address
and submit your photo to create a permanent resident card.
In the portal there are two steps: step 1: declaring your presence in Canada is a requirement to
become a permanent resident and step 2: submitting a photo and a Canadian address is a
requirement to receive your permanent resident card.
If you can’t access online tools such as the portal, or if you experience any technical issues
with the portal, please let us know by replying to this email.
Due to a high volume of emails received by our office, your profile may not be created
immediately. We ask that you send your response only once unless there are changes to your
situation following your initial response.
If you are outside Canada:
If you are currently outside Canada, you cannot be landed using the Permanent Resident
Portal (PR Confirmation). It is important that you let us know when you are planning on
returning to Canada by replying to this email. Further instructions will be sent to you.
