For the people who is considering to withdraw the application, here is what I received from IRCC:
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We have received your request to withdraw your application under the Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident (TR to PR) Pathway. If you wish to withdraw your application, we invite you to follow the applicable instructions below.
If you did not receive an acknowledgment of receipt of your application:
In order to withdraw your application, you will need to request a refund. We invite you to consult the request a refund section of our website for the detailed instructions.
Once a refund is issued, the responsible office will be unable to process the application without the applicable fees, which will result in your application being refused.
Please note that if you submitted a second application with the same fee receipt as in the first application, requesting a refund will result in the refusal of both applications.
If you receive an acknowledgment of receipt of your application before receiving the refund and would still like to withdraw your application:
We invite you to send us a signed written request before a final decision is reached in your file by submitting an IRCC Web form (please attach the signed letter). Your signed written request must include:

What happens next?
The office will review your letter and let you know if your request to withdraw your application has been accepted. Please note that a withdrawal request will only be considered if permanent residence status has not been granted yet.
