Hello everyone, this might be a silly question but worth a try to ask and I appreciate any answer that I may get. I applied (outland but cic changed it to inland, for what reason? I have no idea) last January of this year. Up to present ,there is no indication that my application will be processed soon. I am here in Canada with my common-law spouse, but my dependent children are back home (in the phil). Is there a way to get them here before the approval of the application?the processing time is taking sooo long, and it's very difficult to be away from them...Thanks and hope to hear from this forum.
