Sep. 7 2023 - Portal 1 (attached PDF was addressed to one of dependents). Email replied the same day.
Sep. 12 2023 - Portal 2 (Photos uploaded Sep. 13)
Oct. 5 2023 - Portal 1 email received again. The attached PDF was addressed to child dependent......I'm sure this is an IRCC process defect

So two clarification and follow-up emails were sent to IRCC.
Nov 2 2023 - IRCC responded but didn't answer my confusions, just said "Your application is in our virtual landing queue"
Now - still waiting for photo review, waiting for e-COPR...
