Watch-outs

Failure to return the document on time creates additional administrative issues on top of the cancellation itself.
Even though the permit is legally cancelled the moment the decision is made, the physical-document return obligation is separate. The cancellation doesn't void the obligation; it triggers it.
Return by tracked mail or in person and keep proof of return. If CSGB later claims the document wasn't received, you need the receipt.

Next step

If your permit has been cancelled, schedule the physical return to CSGB immediately. The 15-day clock starts on the notification date — don't wait until you've finished processing the cancellation itself.
