I am waiting since March, the same. My dependent is outside and can't come now. The officer is nice replying my emails. He told they have clear instructions no landing for such applicants, only for those whose all family members inside. I feel really discriminated but what is an option? The officer told to be patient. I just hope they will finally open the offices for regular services soon.
It's very stressful to read that people are getting these emails and asking what's wrong with me? Is it my fault as a main applicant that my dependent outside Canada? I followed all rules and suffered the same but for me and others in the same situation there is no email?!
Sorry, guys, congratulations for everyone who is lucky to allow yourself your family this time and finally get this formality for pr.
