Hello,
I am in the same place as you. Can you please confirm some things for me
1)You got your Portal 1 email, while you were outside Canada. You responded to the email stating that you are outside canada and will be back in Canada on so and so date.
2)Then did you send any follow-up email after you reached back Canada or did they send the portal 2 email once you were back in Canada?
I would appreciate your answers.
