Date of documents for parent sponsorship

[Canadian_kiwi]

Hello everybody, I need your help with a question nobody 'official' seems to be willing to answer, at least not for free...
I applied last year for parent sponsorship and my application was returned to me due to it having been incomplete. I had all my and my parent's documents translated and notarized in November-December 2015, so the stamp on them says 2015.
I am reapplying this year, and I don't know if I can use the same translations or do they need to be re-done and have a 2016 stamp? I wouldn't want to be rejected once again on a mere technicality, after all my parent is not getting any younger and I can't afford to waste yet another year... I tried asking various law/immigration offices but they won't give out this bit of info, and the official government site doesn't go into this much detail.
Please, if anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

i think it would depend on the type of document you are referring to... what specific documents are notarized?

You won't get an "official" answer here either - but at least it will be free...

I have 3 questions which I hope somebody here can answer for me:

1. Approximately how long does it take for a new immigrant before he/she can sponsor his/her parents for Canadian PR?

2. Approximately how long does it take the parents to get their PR after their child initiates their application?

3. Can younger siblings who have come of age be sponsored for PR?
