Congratulations. What country/embassy processed your application?
 
Many years?

Yes it can take up to many years for dependents to get PR and be able to join their family member in Canada. Whether you are part of the pilot program or not makes a difference. If you are a minor outside of Canada with a parent in Canada that can also result in faster processing time. There is a limited quota for the dependents of protected people abroad. The one time policy means that protects people and refugee inside Canada will now be processed faster but there will be a growing backlog of dependents who are waiting for PR.
