Where should I choose to process my application?

The CIC website says
'You must select the visa office that serves your country of nationality or the country where you have been legally admitted for at least one year.'

I lived/worked in the US for the last 6 years on F1 and then H1B visa, just left my previous job and came to Canada a few weeks ago for a new job here. So in my case, can I choose to request the US office ( which is now all done in Ottawa) or the office in my country of origin?

Is the Ottawa office supposed to be faster?

Thanks

The office would be Ottawa if you are legally admitted to Canada as well, so it won't matter.

The speed would depend upon your home country, but you don't mention that in your post so it's impossible for me to look it up on the CIC website - you'll have to do that yourself.

Good luck!

It is based upon the principal applicant, so you would be allowed to choose either CPP-O (same for Canada or US) or New Delhi.
