Hello everyone,
I received my eCOPR on August 26th, 2022.
A special thanks to Shoaib for guiding throughout in the best possible way.
It took exact 4 and half months after pre-arrival letter and 2nd medical to get the portal invitation.
I wish anyone my best wishes and prayers who are facing delays in getting their PR!!! Keep your sprits high and soon you will get out of this situation!!!
Congrats....

I want to add 1 thing here just for information!
I took me over 1 month to submit my PR application and I made sure that all documents and forms are submitted properly and my application process is not delayed. IRCC never asked me for any further document or submission during this whole process.
My recommendation to everyone in future is that it is alright to take time in the beginning rather then being delayed later in the process which cause stress and anxiety. Thanks

Hello. My sister and her daughter applied for refugee status and I, a Canadian Citizen, is their representative. I received an email to upload some documents and I was hoping to be able to link their files to GCKey account to upload the documents instantly and see the progress of the files but I can’t seem to be able to link their files online. Does anyone know how can I do this?

Online Services portal shows that decision made, but in GC key account, it doesn't show that decision made and only shows Medical passed on August 25th. I passed eligibility 3-4 months ago and received a pre-arrival letter in March. I wondered why there are differences between online service and GC key and whether I expect to receive the portal email soon.
Hi you get any update on Gc key account

why they ask for a second medical test though?
Your medical exam results are valid for 12 months only. If you don’t come to Canada as a permanent resident within that time, you may need to have another exam, or if your file is not completed in that time you may be asked for another as well, IRCC officer has discretion and may extend these medial but it's all case by case and in most cases ask for new ones.
