I am in a same boat and asked using a WebForm to the VO if i could change my spouse and kid status to accompanying from non-accompanying status. I DID NOT TELL HIM TO CHANGE THE STATUS and just asked if the status can be changed or not.
The VO replied with the below letter in my CIC account
=================================================================================================================

1) After doing some research and reading i see a risk in changing the status as it could lead to recalculation and rejection of my application.
2) So now, i want to let the application process as it was earlier
My questions:
-------------------
1) So should i ignore the letter and let the application continue as it is.
2) Do i need to create one more webform to tell VO to let the application continue and i will later do spousal sponsorship and it was just a mere query. .
3) I haven't yet send the VO the LOE or the RPRF fees for spouse and kids. So did the VO changed anything in my application yet, or is waiting for the fees receipt, then only he will change anything.
Pls. guys need some quick help.
