Portal 2 to eCOPR: reported wait times and why your CoPR expiry date matters

Step-by-Step

Inland PR applicants shared their experience with the final confirmation stage (Portal 1 → Portal 2 → eCOPR). Note: the specific dates below are from a 2023–24 cohort and are historical — treat them as indicative, not current.

  1. Typical gap between Portal 1 and Portal 2. Members reported roughly 4–6 weeks: one got Portal 1 on Dec 15 and Portal 2 on Jan 31; another had Portal 1 on Dec 21 and Portal 2 about a month later.

  2. eCOPR order is driven by your CoPR expiry date. One member explained that IRCC was issuing eCOPRs by expiry cohort (at the time, applicants whose CoPR expired in Nov 2024 were being processed). So two people with the same portal dates can get eCOPR at different times if their medical/CoPR expiry dates differ.

  3. If you never received the portal login, chase it. A member advised that if you haven't received the Portal 2 login to update your address and photo, follow up with IRCC directly rather than waiting indefinitely.

  4. Calling IRCC may just get 'please wait'. One applicant who called was told to keep waiting — persistence and webforms are the main levers.


Overall: expect several weeks between portals, understand that eCOPR sequencing follows CoPR expiry dates, and proactively contact IRCC if a portal step never arrives.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: Members reported roughly 4–6 weeks between Portal 1 and Portal 2 (2023–24 inland cohort — historical figures).
  • Do: Follow up with IRCC if you never receive the Portal 2 login to update your address and photo.
  • Tip: eCOPR issuance was reported to follow CoPR expiry-date order, not the order portals were completed.
