Got the ITA today (NS nomination). At the same time got the receipt for the new DD as well

Apparently i had sent out a withdrawal email yesterday, but was shocked to see the receipt for the new DD. However i tried calling OINP to ask about the refund and luckily got connected, the gentleman told me that when the application is at the later stages then it is next to impossible to get refund. I told him my application assessment hasnt even started yet, for which he said he will contact the team, and do his best to get me the refund.
Hope i get the refund.
Congratulations to those who received the ITA, and all the very best to other friends with their nominations.
Thank you,
