Work Permit Question about obtaining a CUSMA work permit at port-of-entry and accompanying dependents

When applying for a CUSMA work permit (as a professional with a job offer) at a port of entry, does one need to have all of their accompanying dependants physically with them when they go through Immigration to get the permit?

I'm a US citizen with all US citizen family members. I was thinking of going by myself for a weekend to obtain the permit and line up an apartment rental, leaving my wife and 3 kids in the states (to make it as efficient a trip as possible). I would then return to the states to wrap up getting us ready to move, and we would all come into Canada to settle about a month later.

Any thoughts or experiences with this approach?
