Non-Accompanying Child to Accompanying after PA COPR issued

[ssy81]

My situation is specific so I need opinions by experts...

My husband,child and me (main applicant) were issued COPR valid till March 2017.
I could not provide the non-accompanying parent's consent or a court permit for immigration for my other child.
So this child is now a non-accompanying minor in my COPR for which I sent to VO a notarized consent.

I will get a court approval for this child's immigration by Jan 2017. We won't land to Canada by then. The child's Medical is valid till March 2017.

Please I need your opinions:
- would the VO agree to re-open my case and issue COPR for this child? What is the chance..
- shall I pay again the 150 CAD processing fee for this child (I was informed that I will lose the fee when I changed the child to non-accompanying).
- would the child's COPR issuing take more than 1-2 months?

Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm writing to a answer my own enquiry. The visa officer agreed to change my daughter to accompanying!
She asked me to send all family members passports and COPR, probably will reissue the 3 visas&3 COPR.
VO didn't ask for extra payment for the addition.

Hope this posting will be helpful to someone someday

Update: received back all passports and COPR within only 9 days !

Right, it normally shouldn't be a big deal to change a non accompanying to accompanying because medicals and background checks have already been done.
