SOWP goes under work permit extension and takes about 114 days...

will this processing time count only for work permit or for open work permit too. becuase according to some, " work permit extension " counts for owp.
and in my case i m waiting from 23 weeks for owp and still did not heard anything.

Work permit Extension and OWO both are different and deadlines for both is different too
