Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), sat on the application for 5 years, finally denying the sponsorship based on the children being more than 22 years. This is an error in law, Immigration Canada's own rules state that the date where age is to be considered is the date when the application is FIRST filed, in Aiyen's case this was in 2001, her children were then well below 22 years, the age of cut off.
