Assault case charged and withdrawn - Citizenship application

[sil_ca]

Hi All,

I have applied for Canada citizenship but missed to declare that I was charged in an assault criminal case (2022 Mar) but later withdrawn (2023 Feb). Now I got fingerprint request to the application.
My question is will it impact my application to get approve?
Is there a way (extra steps) to successfully get citizenship in this situation?
Please see my timeline.
AOR :Jan 4,2024
Citizenship test request : Jan 26th 2024
Citizenship test completed : Jan 28th 2024
Finger print request: Jan 31st 2024.

Please share your valuable comments in my confused situation.
Thanks,

Could cause issue in Prohibition status activity check. You can attach a letter of explanation explaining the charge and withdrawal later, also attach any documentation associated with it.
Hopefully with the withdrawal it would not cause any issue. But there could be a case of misrepresentation too.

If you need expert opinion better contact a immigration lawyer.

they’re is no question asking if you were charged. It only asks if you were CONVICTED. I don’t see how that could be misrepresentation!
