Dependent Children age for Parent Sponsorship

I have submitted my family class sponsorship for my Mum and was received by CIC on 8th October 2008. My sister who was 22 years old at that time was entered in the application as non-accompanying member. I didn't include her in the application as accompanying member at the time of submission because I do not meet the LICO. But in 2009, I was able to meet the income requirements up until now. I just found out lately that I can actually sponsor my sister who has a medical condition even if she is 22 years of age or older. She has lung problem and has depended substantially on the financial support of my Mum.

Is it still possible to include her as a dependent child? If yes, should I contact CIC and make some changes on the application?

Greatly appreciate anyone that could help me.

Many thanks

Hi,
I applied for my parents sponsorship in 2010. My brother was 20 at that time and he was added as accompanying member. The application is still in process and has reached step 2. My brother is still studying and will be finishing his studies by August 2015. My question is that can he work now as the application will still be in process for some more time?

No, he can not. He must remain a Full Time Student and be financially dependent on his parents until application is finalized.

Correction:
Your brother is Type A dependent. Type A must not be married or be involved in a common-law relationship at the time of visa issuance and when they enter Canada.

This is wrong. As the brother was 20 at the time of submission, he was locked in as a Type A dependent and is not required to continue studying. It is Type B dependents that are required to remain in full time education until the app is approved.
