This is my situation below. Please read and help. Looking for advice:

Jan 1 - Sent my PR application
Feb 1 - Asked me for biometrics, of which I then provided
Feb 7 - Realized I used the wrong NOC code
Feb 7 - Immediately sent an IRCC web form to explain the situation. I included the correct NOC code, apologised for my stupidity and asked if they would use my new NOC code. I also updated the employment offer document with the new NOC code and attached to the webform.
Feb 17 - Still heard nothing back. Anxiety overdrive.

I kinda want to withdraw and start over. BUT there's a waiting period. My IEC open work permit expires April 15.
I don't have time to wait around for the withdrawal process.
If I could immediately withdraw and start over right now, I would.

Is it worth just hoping for the best, that the officer gets my webform AND decides to use my new NOC?
If I get a rejection I can immediately reapply. And in the mean time I can use the BOWP to stick around, keep working, and wait for the result.
If I withdraw I have to wait around. And they might even accept my NOC in the first webform, with a second webform for withdrawal pending. That would be messy.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

It would be waiting game for you. Cause it will all depend on the officer reviewing your case. See examples below. Three things could happen here: the officer accepts your change of NOC, officer issues a procedural fairness letter (giving you a chance to explain yourself or ask for a reference letter matching the NOC originally selected, or your app can be refused.

Ordering GCMS notes is the only way to find out whether the case analyst/ officer accepted your change of NOC.
