New PR confirmation portal

[sarshar]

I don’t agree with this a 100%.

Only some kind of applications for PR submission are supported through the new portal for ex: refugee status and one other (if I recollect correctly).
Since virtual PR confirmation is a new thing - the guidelines are constantly evolving - in any scenario, it is ALWAYS a good idea to follow IRCC’s recommendations to the letter.

Now there are some people who have had success with using the “forgot my password” trick and others haven’t. No one can say for certain that you should or shouldn’t do this - at the end of the day it is only YOU who should be making the final decision based on what you feel comfortable with.
Otherwise you run the risk of blaming others in case something goes awry - with no means of actually holding them accountable!

Best case scenario, call the IRCC call centre and ask them if this is something they advise (they probably won’t but if they do, you’ll have it in writing on your GCMS notes).

Goodluck to everyone waiting for more info! Hopefully the wait will be over soon

Apart from "Refugee" applicants, Permanent Residence categories you have to apply through the PR Portal are:

1. Agri-Food Pilot
2. Atlantic High Skilled Program
3. Atlantic International Graduate Program
4. Atlantic Intermediate Skilled Program
5. Rural and Northern Immigration Program
6. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
7. Self-Employed Persons Class
8. Start-Up Business Class
9. Quebec Selected Investor Program
10. Quebec Entrepreneur Program
11. Quebec Self-Employed Persons Program
12. In Canada - Humanitarian and Compassionate Considerations

A pretty huge list, basically everything rather than Express Entry which CEC falls under.
AIPP and PNPs are the most common ones that many people get their PR through.

If you had applied for either of the above programs in the past (since it's online though) then you have a PR Portal account and if you apply for anything under Express Entry, you already have the credentials and no need to wait for the VLU. IRCC cannot blame EE applicants for having an account on PR Portal for initiating other immigration streams. Creation of an account is legit.

open the file with Adobe Acrobat Reader, not the browser. it should not be blank

I tried that too and I tried all the magic, the file is completely blank with just the template and Immigration officer signed on it. I am the first one to experience this problem according to IRCC.

Canada post being Canada post

Chances are it's being lost even ! I've been through such case with both Canada Post and UPS. they basically dropped the parcel somewhere in street and close the case as delivered. we never found it, they never had an answer.
