literally the entire thread is people posting their timelines... maybe just spend some time browsing through it?

The time from portal submission to eCOPR varies. Few receive within weeks, and others months. It depends on the nature (country, VO, etc.) of the application, I suppose. IRCC agent mentioned that the preference is given to the ones already residing in Canada.

We received portal credentials on Aug 18 > submitted details on Aug 20, and then got our eCOPR on Nov 05. We received eCOPR communication via email asking to download soft-copy from the VL portal. Hope this helps.

Application started in Dec 2019. It took us nearly 2 years, and for sure it has been a frustrating wait.

One thing that we kept on doing was to call IRCC every month to let them know our situation and seek any further status because IRCC portal is not frequently updated. Be respectful, ask relevant questions rather than if there has been any progress and 'Always' thank them. I remember that once / twice an IRCC agent took time to go through my application (5 mins) and explain me the progress. It was an exception because most of them usually give you a standard response that they have the same info as it is on IRCC portal.

Keep faith everyone !

[Update] Finally, received the PR card on Nov 23. Roughly 20 days after eCOPR.

Just joining the thread...also got my first email from VLU/OSC Ottawa on November 11th. No updates yet with login credentials.
My first reply was on the same day - no auto reply.
Sent three emails since then, all got auto-replies. I have not raised a webform yet.

Just got my portal login info, 20min ago! 17 days since the first login info.

I did not raise any webform or call. But did send 5 replies after the first reply on the 11th - no idea if it made any difference.

Now, will see how long eCOPR and PR card takes...

noob question: how do you know it is VLO sending you your credential? Is it reflected on the name of the email account? Mine shows the invitation email sent by IRCC.ClientPortalWest-OuestClientPortail.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and then the credential email was sent by IRCC.ClientPortal-PortailClient.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. I am in BC.

Did you followed up with them? Did you link your application in GC key, what all stages did you find changing?

Sounds like you are at the Vancouver office. In my first email, it was assigned, Virtual Landing Unit which is in Ottawa.

I need help!!!!

My file was under process in express entry (CEC) but in this April due to passing of my father I went back home where I got my Permanent Residence Confirmation email (inland) which I could not confirm that I am in Canada and I reply that email explaining the matter( at that time all flights from India were ban). So, I got reply from them that to contact office (Ottawa) once I get back to Canada again. I came back in October and I informed them right after my landing in Canada. Since then I am waiting from them for reply, not even automated reply that they got my email. I am bit worried because it's more than month now and as my work permit is expiring in January I don't know what to do now and how to get conformation that they got my email.

P.S I have tried to contact them via webforms couple of times but both time I got automated same reply that they are replying on priority inquires and will not responding to any other inquires.

Hang in there....seems like VLU is catching up (slowly).
Have you tried emailing the Portal email directly or using a webform? I remember someone trying this out and it seemed to help.

I just got my eCoRP today, it took one day to come after submitting photo/address. But, it took 17 days to get the login credentials.

It would be worth emailing again - maybe once a week? - and also trying to call the main number. I know that contacting them is frustrating, but it is really all we can do. VLU is known to be slow and often backlogged, so hopefully they will come through soon.

I emailed today but haven't heard anything back. I phoned last week and they said everything with my file looked good. I don't want to draw to much attention to myself as I don't want my persistent asking make it take any longer. Congrats on getting your ecorp.

Is the eCOPR document available in the PR Portal? Or do they send an email with the document? Not sure if should keep an eye on my email or check the portal once or twice a day lol
