I have obtained a pilgrim passport from the Canadian pilgrim group, and have ordered a special one from Ivor. My camino will start in porto in September. My question is do I need to go to the cathedral in porto and do anything or can I just start and collect Stamps?

You don't have to get your credential stamped at the cathedral (or any particular place), but it is a nice starting point and stamp.

Where is a good place to get your first stamp in StJPdP ?

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Is it possible to get the special Holy Year credential at the Pilgrims Office in SJPdP or do we need to order that online from Ivar ahead of time? Thanks

No. The Pilgrims Office in SJPDP issues credentials produced by the French pilgrim association.
The special holy year credential is produced by the cathedral in Santiago. Order it from Ivar if you want one.
