It might be faster to submit an Outland application, which you can do even if you are in Canada. Most (especially Americans) seem to prefer that, even though it means they do not qualify for an OWP. Since it may take >8 months to even see an OWP, you could complete the process before then with an Outland application. Check the current outland thread to see what's happening now.
 
Thank you very much for the advise and help! Would you happen to know the other questions as well?

Also, I know it's not needed since we cleared up the misunderstanding, but regarding that free consultation, do I set it up through general inquiries in the contact page here if I am interested?
You really don't need it now.

Thank you for the heads up! Will look into it
