Does withdrawing work permit application have any issues or future applications???

[vympel001]

Hello Everyone,

I am in a slightly tricky situation and need your help. I am in USA and due to COVID I was laid off by previous company. Due to visa issues I cannot work in USA any longer and hence I am looking for job opportunities in Canada.

I was able to find a company that gave me a job offer and started my work permit processing. We submitted my work permit application 2 months back. However, due to a mistake made in the work permit form we had to withdraw the work permit application and submit it again.

Now, a company in USA has recently offered me a position which will also take care of the visa issues I was facing previously and thus it will enable me to continue my life and work in USA without disrupting me and my family.

My questions are -


1. If I decide to proceed with the USA job offer and ultimately withdraw my Canada work permit for a 2nd time will it affect any future PR or work permit applications in Canada? I have already withdrawn the application once due to a mistake in the form. The 2nd withdrawal will be due to the fact that I have decided not to go ahead with my employment in Canada

2. I am also applying for a PR. Will this 2nd withdrawal affect my chances or will IRCC put any undue scrutiny or unfavorable decision on my PR??

I request experts or experienced people to give their opinions?? Also, if there is anyone who knows a good lawyer or expert please share their links or contact details.

Thanks

1. No
2. No

Send them a detailed explanation about pursuing another opportunity. It will be added to your file and will be reviewed during future processing.

Thanks for replying.

By "them" do you mean IRCC? The issue is that my employers immigration lawyers are handling the process. I do not have any control over what they will write when they withdraw the application. I don't imagine they will do something in bad faith to screw me over. But just wanted to know how should I approach this.

Then you should get in touch with those lawyers. Ask them how it's gonna be handled.
