Hi there,

I am an CEC 2013 applicant. I received a Procedural Fairness Letter a couple of days ago which concerns my eligibility and misrepresentation. Instead of taking risk of rejection, I want to add myself to my common-law partner's application. So my question is

"Can I withdraw my case at this time? would they refuse my application if I withdraw it?"

Please help. Thanks.

If you withdraw your application and re-apply under a different program, you give CIC only more concerns about misinterpretation and make yourself suspicious. I would suggest, you at least try to clarify that you did not commit any misinterpretation with clear evidence to support your case. You can do so also after a refusal. It's called "reconsideration". You have 60 days to ask for reconsideration or appeal. I asked for reconsideration now, as well, and sent them all evidence explaining my situation. Still hoping for the best. If you are in Canada, also ask your local MP for help.

Thanks a lot for your recommandation. CIC has already asked for additional documents two times before. I have already gave him all the documents I could provide. It looks like he has no more excuses, so he started to pick little things from my schedule A.

In a similar situation they aked for additional documents twice I provided then I receive a PFL from my schedule A. Request a withdrawal still nothing. Wondering how long it took to hear bk and what was the decision?

Once you have received a PFL, it's generally too late to withdraw your application. You need to respond to the PFL and then wait for IRCC to make a decision on your application.

The lawyer advised to withdrawal its not an inadmissibility situation or no ban was on the PFL is just that what the officer is asking for I cannot provide. Withdrawal is to try another route not needing that particular requirement. I wanted to find out from the others how long it took to hear bk from IRCC and what was the decision.
