sumptuous said:your case will require medical, criminal and background checks on your dependents if they are over 18, and it will obviously add to your timeline. Hopefully someone who has gone through your situation will respond to your query.
If you don't mind, what was the reason that only you was granted PR? have you addressed it in your new application?
I have a daughter who is a Canadian citizen. She was the one who applied to sponsor me initially. She is a step daughter to my wife. Her mom was my first wife but she is late now. Also, my 4 kids are her half-siblings. So I think it is because of the kind of (somewhat complicated) relationship that only I was granted PR. As for medicals and police report, we did all that before we submitted our application in january. During my first application process, I was told to do DNA test to prove my children were mine which I did and the results were sent to them. So as far as medicals go, I believe we have done everything. And yes, I addressed all this in my new application.
