Hi,

Due to missing information and after calling CIC, they advised that I can either withdraw -> resubmit or just submit a new application with an explanation letter and that I can use the same receipt.
I will go with the latter but realize the question 3. In my case, I sent my application last week and will be sending another one with complete info this week, any one knows if I should check yes for question 3?
I've been trying to call CIC but couldn't reach them since my last call.

Thank you

Use same application with all same attached documents(don't add or remove anything) with new date and covering letter of explanation.

Lots of people are trying to abort their applications due to hasty mistakes.
Did IRCC explain how to correctly withdraw an application?

The agent sent me the link on cic website

process to withdraw and you can then apply with a whole new app. Though, a full refund is not guaranteed. In my case, I made a mistake in question 11 regarding to the address which as per the agent, the application will not be returned due to this so I will just send a new form with a letter including the receipt.
