Hi, I moved up to Canada with my common law partner 4 years ago. She is a dual US and Canadian citizen going to school in Canda. I got a work permit for 4 years, and applied for PR last year. We just broke up, and she moved back to the US. I am trying to figure out what I should do, either:
1) Should I withdraw my PR application?
or
2) Should she withdraw her sponsorship?
I ask because I know if I withdraw my application, I may get some of the money back, but I'm worried that if I withdraw, my work permit (which is good until early 2019) will be changed. I don't plan on staying in Canada, but I don't want to have to be forced to move in, say, 30 days if that's all the time they give someone who withdraws their application (I really don't know, i just made that number up). I feel like if my partner withdrew her sponsorship, the system might be gentler and give a more generous timeframe to leave (6 months or even until 2019, the original end date).
Does anyone know how this works? I was supposed to have my final interview this week, so your timely comments are appreciated.
