Trouble Porting a cell number from Rogers to Public Mobile

I bought a Public Mobile Subscription and initiated the transfer/activation process this afternoon. However I didn't receive any SMS text from my previous provider, but got a message on the Public Mobile App during the process that there are issues activating the subscription.  There was even a text sent to me from Public Mobile that there are troubles transferring my number.  I restarted my phone and started the App again and the subscription seem to have started since the data usage information timestamp is being updated.  However, I think i'm currently on both plans and the transfer didn't happen.  The settings on my phone show a Primary line, and a Personal line.  This might be because the physical SIM card from my previous provider is still in my phone since I read not to remove it until the transfer is complete and the esim from Public Mobile is activated.  I'm concerned that I am paying for both phone plans.   Does anyone know how i can check that my number is ported out to Public Mobile?  Do I need to call the previous provider?  I thought the process is supposed to happen on the Public Mobile side only.

it’s resolved now!  There was a porting block on my account, but all good now.  Thanks again!
