    What did the letter state? Was it acknowledgement of receipt of application? Timeline for Sponsorship (Parents and Grandparents) is available from CIC website.

    Re: Parents Sponsorship with Dependents Thanks to YYZguy416 and user828 for the responses! I was pretty sure about Sister B not being able to join us but I thought I ask some other people's opinion. I am going to add her as a non-accompanying dependent in the application as I do not want to...
