Hope this information helps someone avoid being worried. For people who might get curious - I am a dependant, but I was responsible for everything, so do not hesitate to ask any questions here, I would be glad to help :)

P.S. The same day we sent our passports we also logged in to our PR tracker account and submitted new police certificates since we had stayed in Tbilisi, Georgia for more than 6 months, so, please, keep that in mind that if you live in some country for 6+ months, IRCC might request new police certificates and it can result in possible further delays in the process.
