IMM1344 withdraw application or not?

[bo12]

At the very top of the form IMM1344, it asks if you r not able to sponsor, will you withdraw or continue? They ask you to check. Which one should you check and what are the pros and cons for checking each one? Who can help to answer this question, Thanks in advance.

I can only give my own opinion - I had checked "withdraw". Because if the sponsorship is denied, it is very unlikely that the VO will overrun the decision and approve the PR anyway... so I think if the sponsorship is denied, it's best to withdraw, address the reason why the sponsorship has been denied, and then re-apply with a new file, rather than sending the file to the VO who will most likely deny the PR anyway.
I'm not sure what would be the pros of checking "continue", maybe somebody else can comment.
Good luck,

We were thinking about that too when we were filling up the forms but just read the instruction guide, it explains there clearly

-we did choose withdraw

Thank you very much for your reply. Just couldn't get my mind off this CIC thing.
Merry Christmas and happy new year. GOOK LUCK with everything in Canada.

Yes, we chose withdraw, but it seems as if you can't appeal if it fails. Although we have enough proof, just can't help from worring. Always want to work for the best and prepare for the worst. Hope this thing can be over soon. Merry Chirstmas!

We chose to continue with the PR application.

In our case, there is no reason why I would be denied sponsorship (outside of lacking documentation), so if I was ever to be denied, I would re-do my sponsorship application, but not delay my wife's PR application in the process.

The Withdraw option (in my view) are only for those who are unsure about their ability to sponsor.

I also wondered about this and was originally going to check off continue The website states

Note: Check “proceed with the application for permanent residence” if you submit an undertaking of assistance to support the permanent residence application of a family member or close relative on Humanitarian and compassionate considerations

I should not have any reason to be denied so did eventually check off withdraw.

I disagree with

The Withdraw option (in my view) are only for those who are unsure about their ability to sponsor.

Sweden,

I had the same thoughts as you, but I think I figured out at least one answer.

If you had a suitable co-sponsor who could support the dependant as a stand alone sponsor, it would make sense in that case. If you were sponsoring a parent/child with your spouse... something like that.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but that was the only straw I could grasp.

Seems like a good thought indeed - and as with other CIC forms, as they have to fit every type of situation, then most of the things don't apply to everybody, and it ends up being quite confusing!

Merry Christmas to you!

This is just what happened to us. I had "withdraw" marked in our draft, but our lawyer advised us to change it to "continue". She said that with withdrawal you have no right to appeal, and as there was no reason for sponsorship to be denied in our case (good job, sufficient income, no history of receiving welfare) there would have been nothing to "fix" and refiled. Better to appeal and challenge their decision on sponsorship.

This is what I was advised to do as well as there are no reasons for my sponsorship to be denied.
