Hey guys, I got specific respond from IRCC Cancouver office regarding outland dependent:
Hello,
Due to COVID-19, our offices are currently operating at a reduced capacity resulting in further delays for applications with overseas dependents. An accompanying dependent can be changed to non-accompanying if the principle applicant wishes to have the application finalized at an earlier date in which the dependent will not receive permanent resident status from the application. A sponsorship application for the dependent can be submitted with new applicable fees to IRCC at a later date for permanent resident determination. While this is optional, if you decide to change the dependent status please notify us.
Kind regards,
Vancouver IRCC
