I need to withdraw my CEC file....how?

[BK11]

Hi Guys,

I applied for CEC in april 2013 and now my federal skilled worker file is almost near to finish. I sent my passport for stamping yesterday. I just need to know that how can i withdraw my CEC file? Will I get refund for it? My online status for CEC is still application received and few days back they asked for RCMP fingerprinting which I wont submit now. So, how can I ask CIC people to close my CEC file? Thanks

I thing you can just send a email to CPP-ottawa, requesting to withdraw the CEC application and explain the reason.

Btw, you wont get any refund. as they already started processing your application.

Thanks Honeysingh. But, i think processing of the file starts when they start eligibility assessment. I am not sure though!

Once you've received the AOR, processing has technically begun (even though it doesn't show on ECAS). You won't receive a refund.

And to answer the question, how to withdraw an application. I haven't found
any information about CEC applications, but sponship applications are withdrawn by sending an email.

They send an email to the office processing the applications with 'Withdraw Sponsorship Application' in the
subject line.

So shoot an email to ottpilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca and put 'Withdraw CEC Application' in the subject line.
Make sure to include your name, UCI and application number in your email.
