Withdrawing Application

I sent my application to be sponsored by my spouse 3 weeks ago,but i have decided to withdraw because the relationship with my sponsor has broken down,because she has decided to see other people,and i dont want to take the risk of being dishonest to immigration.I would like to know if you get all the forms and evidence back when you request for a withdrawal??

I know someone who had their application returned to them by CIC had everything returned.

I would assume it works the same for withdrawals, but I can't be 100% as I never withdrew mine

I do know that you should withdraw asap or you won't have the PR processing fee refunded. Right now you only forfeit the $75. Waiting forfeits the $475 fee as well if it goes beyond the sponsorship stage

thanks for the replies..I am hoping that i get the documents back..everything happens for a reason

I am sorry for your relationship ending, probably better that you know that now rather a month or two into your application being processed, I should imagine if you fax CIC stating you wish to withdraw your application then your whole package should be returned and your fees refunded (I think you lose the $75 sponsorship fee but not sure, might depend on weather they have even opened your application or not Applications sent on or before April 19 2010 are being processed so you might be lucky and catch it in time when did you mail it?

But definitely don't hang around on this one, make sure to include your full name, date of birth and Client Id if you have one (should be same as the one in any previous Visa's/Visitors records you have held in Canada!) Plus your sponsors full name and date of birth and perhaps quote your receipt number may help to locate your Package!   

Good luck

Thanks all..i sent my application on May 6th it was received on the 9th..I would be sending a fax today,and also a mail for the record
