Issue with Dependent on Application

[Charlie13]

My Australian mother in law, who has resided in Canada for 13 years, has applied for her PR through the Experience class. She applied before Aug 1 2014 to include youngest son (age 21) in the application. She received notice that unless he was in school he cannot be included in the application. His work visa is under her name and she was told that he could be included, even though he was working and not in any schooling. He graduated in Canada. If anyone knows any way we could appeal this or how we can respond please let me know!

Effective August 1, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has changed its definition of a dependent child for its immigration programs. A dependent child must be under 19 years of age, instead of the previous limit of under 22 years of age. Find out more about the change in the definition of a dependent child. New application kits, forms and fee information are now available. These new forms must be used starting August 1, 2014.

She should respond to the notice that he is a Type-A dependant on a pre-August 2014 application, not a Type-B.

Thanks for your response! Can you tell me the difference between type A and B dependants?
