Faster PR processing time from Canada?

[Kwakby]

I have a valid work permit in Canada and am applying for a PR (CRS 441). I am currently in other country though. Will it be wise to return to Canada just to put the resident place in the PR application there.

I want to do that because I heard that the processing time for inland applicants is much smaller. Is that true?

It doesn't matter because as per CIC the standard time is 6 months for EE processing. I read a guy from France got PPR in 16 Days and he was outland too. As long as your case is straight and clear to VO you don't need to be worried.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I don't think being in Canada makes a difference. What I can say from experience is it really depends on the stream - I was applying for CEC sometimes last year (inside Canada), and processing took way longer than FSW stream from outside.
