I do not think that IRCC intentionally holds an application until one applies for BOWP. I had 4 months left on my WP. I applied for OWP under public policy last week and my application was approved in 4 days. But, I am still waiting for my PR.
AOR: July 12 and still waiting.
I mean if the suggested timeframe were followed based on their recent update, the WP extension could take as long as 50 days to reach a decision. Since we are July applicants, we have already been in PR applications for more than 8 months. So you could get the pr result before the BOWP, then eligible for a refund? (I read it somewhere). But they prioritize BOWP now so you would not have a chance to get a refund as you have been approved.

That make sense. Maybe BOWP is the reason our PR applications are postponed. Officers are busy with R10 and BOWP. They invited 15000 CEC applicants in February and now processing their work permits to prolong workers official status in Canada.
They are stretching it (for more money and causing more pain) like what they are doing with the 2nd jab. ️
