Question:
My spouse and I received approvals for our Canadian work permit applications, but the study permit applications for our two minor dependent children remain pending for 10+ weeks, which is well beyond the published processing timeframe of 5 weeks.
Multiple webforms and escalations have already been submitted, and IRCC has confirmed that the files were escalated. We have not been asked for additional documents or informed of any issues with the applications.
I have two questions:
Thank you.

I have two questions:
- Is there any practical benefit to submitting new study permit applications for dependent children at this stage, or would that typically just reset the processing clock and create additional delays?
- Are there any legal or procedural remedies available when dependent applications appear to be stalled significantly beyond published processing times without any requests for additional information or meaningful status updates?
Thank you.
