Im not able to go because my job and my son school and need him to be there, Our lawyer sent a letter asking for an extension for the beginning of April Feb. 10th and we did not receive any answer, we dont know what to do since we cant contact them in other way.

Ultimately, there were cases when applications were closed when documents were not submitted in time. Some were successful in reopening them after a request and explanation of circumstances which led to the delay. Given your situation and that your case is handled by a lawyer who already submitted extension request and explanation, i think CIC will provide an extension, even though they might be delayed with their reply. But no one can really know or say for sure, you will have to wait and see.
I know CIC does allow to applicants visiting Canada to send passport to Ottawa instead of the original country. I don't know if it is allowed to do in a 3rd country, i would not send my passport without specific CIC authorization to do so.
