We have received a 3 year work permit for myself and my husband back in November. We were asked to submit a form to have our children's study permit. Our passports expire in July and we travelled had to travel without the kids since the study permits still have not come in. After landing we immediately had new passports made and are waiting for the work permit extension since our original passports expired in July. It has been almost 7 months now and the kids don't have their permits yet. Can we call them under a visitor visa while the study permits are processing. The kids are only 6 and 10 and are struggling wihout us. I don't understand what is taking so long..
