Can I withdraw my citizenship application and apply again?

[skylar1218]

Hi, currently I am invited for the Oath in December this year. However, I am having 2nd thought on getting the Canadian citizenship since I will have to give up my current citizenship (I know I should have thought about it earlier =/ ). If I withdraw my application now, can I apply it again? And if I apply it again in the future, with the CIC deny my application because I withdraw my previous application or any other reason?

Thanks.

You can withdraw the application and there will not be any consequences. You can reapply in future.

If you withdrew your application successfully (it could be denied), then I believe you should be fine, as long as you meet the requirements again, but for the 5 years eligibility period immediately prior to the submission of your new application. In the withdrawal form, you can find more details.
