My common law hubby, our child and myself came immigrated here and in our application included two of our kids from previous relationships we have since gotten our permanent residency but the kids' applications have not gone through. Our situation is abit unusual because the kids' applications are being processed in different countries but I feel as though they have taken abit long. We got the last correspondense in August of 2011 where they asked for proof of surport as well as the notarised document stating that the child's other parent was ok with him coming to live in Canada. All these were sent and since then we have not heard anything. Is this normal??
My second question is regarding my own situation. After almost 9 years and two kids my relationship with my commonlaw hubby is on the rocks and I am wondering where my older child and I stand as far as our residency goes since we are listed as his dependants? If we seperate does it mean we lose our status? This has been weighing so heavly on my mind and I cannot afford a lawyer at the moment so i am hoping someone may have an idea and maybe help me out here.
