I was just thinking of doing same for my dependent outside Canada. It’s sad to see the timeline jump up
I’m also giving this a shot next week. Please share any tips you might have for application.
 
Plus 1. Please did it work?.

No.
I tried for my spouse and child, and rejected, waited one year. Applied, rejected.
The chances for they approve the visitor visa for your dependants is almost zero .
They use the "logic" that people with visitor visa will return to their country after the visit, but that is certainly impossible if you (the father, the mother or the spouse) are here. They assume people will stay. So according with their guidelines, they reject the visa.

They rejected mine too some years ago so I decided to backoff.

Makes no sense, if apply, they will reject again and each time you apply must spend a lot of money in documents, translations a bunch of paper they request, and that money is lost. Better wait until the PR come. :/

Does having a PR makes much difference? I have PR now.

Same for me.
Still waiting.
Their files are in visa office for their region and must wait until their assessment end and they will give to them a PR visa and they will travel to Canada and at the airport, oficially do the landing.

So if you apply for visitor, there is other application in progress.

No more to do than wait, sadly.

People stay fairly frequently which is why IRCC is reluctant to approve the TRVs.

If anything there is a a higher risk that family will not return home given your PR status.
