I wanted to withdraw my ongoing study permit application and apply for a new study permit application as my universities changed. I raised a webform for the first application and filed my second application after few days. But currently, both my application are active. Its been more than 1.5 months but my first application did not get withdraw.

Yes as CIC stated '' do not send multiple applications in order to speed your study visa

I was changing the province, so I thought it would be better if I provide a fresh application so it would be less confusing for the visa officer.
But why would the second application be cancelled? I mentioned the application number of the first application in the webform for withdrawal.
Because IRCC warns against 2 active applications, and you are not sure what stage of processing your first application is/was in when you sent in the second one. Im not saying they will definitely be cancelled but no one can tell.
Changing provinces was not a valid reason to submit another application. You are allowed to change your DLI to an approved institution anywhere in the the country.
Ohh right, my biometrics wasnt done for the first one because of the lockdown. Its still closed, so I am thinking to go ahead with the biometrics for the second application BIL when the VACs open.
I will just have to wait right for the first application to get withdrawn right?
Hey!
I was in a similar situation as I withdrew my 1st application as it was more than a year since I submitted it and didn't receive any decision on it. So, I applied for my withdrawal but didn't receive any response on the withdrawal as well. And I did the same as you, applied with a new application while the 1st application was still active. But just after a week of re-applying, I got the Correspondence letter for my new application and after sometime I got an email stating that there has been a change in my new application. I thought it'd be the decision as I received the correspondence letter just a few minutes back. But for my surprise, they withdrew my 2nd application instead of the first one! I called and enquired about the reason for my 2nd application being withdrawn instead of the first and they replied saying that the VO received both of my applications and he deliberately withdrew my 2nd application and wanted to give the decision on my 1st application only.
After a few days I got the Correspondence letter on the old application and still there hasn't been a decision sent on it yet :/
Oh! thanks for sharing! I want my first application to get withdrawn as soon as possible. But my biometrics isn't done due to lockdown so my first application is still in the initial stage.
Hello. I'm wondering whether you've withdrawn the application successfully. I uploaded insufficient and outdated documents out of my own carelessness. So I requested to withdrew the application. Since the courses are mostly online next semster. I'm not in a hurry to submit a new one. I'm just gonna wait on it. But it's nice to know the approximate processing time.
Thank you for the post!! I almost submitted a new one before I stumbled upon this post.
