Withdrawn and reapplied

Little background info, the first time I applied for a study permit was for Fall'22, I withdrew my file due to visa delays because my classes already commenced and offered deferment was for Fall'23. Also, no online classes were being offered for my course. Anyhow, I had an offer for Concordia University for Winter22 so I refiled my visa again for Concordia. My first visa was withdrawn on 22nd Sep and I reapplied on 7th Oct.
My concern is that, in my SOP, I have not mentioned why I withdrew or anything regarding withdrawal. I treated it as a fresh file. But in the visa form, IMM1249, it was asked if I have previously applied for a Canada visa of any type (student, visitor, etc) so I ticked yes and in the comments, I wrote quote to quote
"I had applied previously for my study permit application for University of Calgary for Fall'22 intake but due to the visa delay issues I had withdrawn the file as my program was already commenced."
The question in my mind is, will this hinder the decision of my file? As I have already stated in the visa form about the withdrawal but not in SOP, is this something I did wrong?
Please help me out here!

It will be down to the Visa Officer that reviews your application to decide whether he thinks your application is lacking information. No way of knowing how he will interpret your SOP. The good thing is you declared it in the form which will definitely show you are being honest in your application. Good luck!
