PR Application Withdrawal

[anon70]

Hello,

I had applied for Permanent Residence using Express Entry as an FSW candidate.

ITA: September 2020
Application submitted: December 2020
AOR: December 2020
Biometrics: Requested but not submitted yet

Recently due to some personal reasons, I am considering withdrawing my application and reapply later (in 2022 or later) to directly land and settle in Canada. Since I have received AOR, will there be an issue if I withdraw my application and reapply later? Is there any penalty/wait-time which can lead to issues when I try to reapply later to get a new ITA with my account after recent withdrawal?

Thanks!

You can just see it through to the end and still settle in Canada next year or later . Who knows you might not even get approved ASAP and the entire process might take a year to complete

I personally do not know when I will reapplying again in the future because of which I am considering withdrawing and reapplying later in future rather than going forward towards approval stage.

If you have any more knowledge regarding my question, please do share

Thanks for your reply!
