IMM5533 - Minor Error

Hi All,

I, the sponsor from Canada, submitted the Canadian Spousal Sponsorship online yesterday for my spouse back in India. All of the documents & files were properly submitted by me.
After submitting the application, I realized in IMM5533(Document Checklist), under question 7 a) Are you and your sponsor living together? I did not click/select 'NO' but I did select the two bullets (sub category questions) under the NO option.
I immediately sent them a Letter of Explanation and submitted a new corrected IMM5533 document through the Webform after 24 hours.

My question is, will this effect my application? Will the original IMM5533 document will be termed as Incomplete? or will they accept this minor error and go ahead with the original one and do the processing? I do not want them to delay my application due to this. I spoke to IRCC agent and was informed I have two options, either to wait to hear back from IRCC or withdraw the application and submit a new one.

I did not have application no, so I used my UCI number and submitted a Letter of Explanation and a new IMM5533 document through the WebForm.

Has anyone faced anything similar to this? Please let me know if you have.

Thanks
