Applying for study permit

I applied for study permit including my wife and two children aged 12 and 17 in the application with all required documents such as the letter of acceptance, letter of stipend, cashier cheque for 4 persons, photos and our passports with I-20. Unfortunately today, the whole package has been returned with a note that says, " completed study permit applications for each person". I do not understand what they mean.

My wife and children are my dependents and will be accompanying me to Canada to stay with me. My son will be going to 12th grade and daughter will be going to 8th grade next academic year. Do they really require me to obtain letters of acceptance from the schools where my children will be studying, if I need to submit separate applications for each one of my dependents?. I guess everyone that has filled out application knows very well what the items are being required to complete the study permit application for Canada such as the name of school, department, funding sources, tuition fee and others. I do not know how I can get such letters from the high and middle schools in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. Because I am not sure which schools my children will be going there. I was thinking I need to identify the schools of my choice only after we reach there. My wife will not be studying in Canada. I am very much confused on this matter.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone has an answer for my questions. Friends, I seek your help.

Not sure if the specifics of what I am doing match with yours entirely but might...

My fiance's two sisters are planning to come with us with Student Visas. We applied independently to the U of C ESL Program and the Calgary Board of Education for acceptance to their programs as international students. I do not have an address in Calgary and reside in Korea but was given a generic letter of acceptance by the Calgary Board of Education. They will be able to assign my fiance's sister once we have a permanent address (as explained in the letter they provide). Each submission for a student visa that I submitted was done independently.... but they are not my dependents so not sure how that changes things.

Regardless, I would recommend contacting either the Saskatoon Public School Board or the Saskatoon Catholic School Board (depending on your preference) and making an application with them. Full tuition was required in advance to Calgary and it was noted that a full refund would be given should the study permit be denied.
