Hi guys,

Is it true that if I apply for an OWP later than my sponsorship application, I will get the OWP sooner than applying for it along with PR application?
I read the previous posts and found people said that it’s faster to get an OWP when I apply separately due to different processing centers.

I had to resubmit my application and it still took 4 months to get the work permit! No matter what office it goes to it still takes3-4 months
