I applied for a restoration of temporary resident status but when they asked for my biometrics there was no place open to do it, I needed to come Back to my country because of covid and my passport was going to expire so I couldn't wait in Canada for the process to be done, but now they sent me a request for my passport and a medical exam and also they put back the biometrics money in my account I guess, Idk what to do, is it gonna make it harder for me to go back and visit Canada in the future? Do I keep going with the process? Do i write them a letter explaining what happened and why I needed to left canada before the visa process was finished? I thought once I left the country the process was automatically canceled or something. Could someone help me please, I am really lost here

You can't extend your visit once you have left Canada. Tell them you have left Canada and ask them to cancel your application.
