I've read that some people called and were told to send letters. However, when I called the lady told me they could not close my file because they had not started processing it yet. I submitted the application in August 2016.
She explained to me that I can only request to close it after I received the next letter from them, requesting more documents.
I told her that I am about to accept an ITA and that this situation makes it complicated, but she continued insisting that it was not possible to close the file now. So I have to wait until no one knows, spring time maybe ..., when they start processing the applications.

I called the international phone they have on their website. Try calling them and lets see what they have to tell you for your case.

I on the other hand am considering to send them a "don't want to process my file" letter in the coming days.

Can you please share what exactly they told you to write in the letter, to what address will you send it, and is it going to be registered or courier?

Thanks!

They told me to send a regular letter to the following address

Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion
285, rue Notre-Dame, 4e étage
Montréal (Québec) H2Y 1T8


along with Name, DOB, File/Reference number, address, phone number and the reason for withdrawal.

I asked how long it would take, they said its not a standard process so there is no standard timeline, they also said that they may call me or send me an email to confirm before officially withdrawing.

What is DOB?

And were you from june or august candidates? Have they started processing your file? It's just so strange they told me such a different thing...

I am August candidate as far as I remember, I never asked them to check my file. Basically, I called them and told them that I want to withdraw my application as I accepted an ITA with Express Entry.
