Hi. I don't know why guys said it takes 1 year for family overseas to join a protected person in Canada after getting PR. I spoke with immigration staff(cic or ircc) last month and she told me that if family members were included in a protected person's application from the beginning, family members get their visas based on the months left after in Canada applicant gets his/her PR. But due to covid, add another 3 - 4 months. For instance, I applied for PR under protected person in Oct, 2018 and got my PR in September, 2020. That means if it wasn't for pandemic, this month would have been 24 months when my family overseas would have gotten their visas. But for the pandemic, we're hoping everything would be finalized on or before January. I hope the officer told me the truth....
