ICT work permit & OWP application in parallel

hello experts,

I applied OWP on end of august 28 2017, finished my medicals on november 28 2017, the police clearances have been requested and submitted also on november 20 2017 - so OWP application status as of november 30 2017 is just waiting for the decision (the OWP if approved will only be valid until june 2019)

I got a job offer from our Canada branch on 3rd week of november 2017, and they submitted my ICT work permit application on november 30 2017 (filed under global skills strategy)


Questions:
1. What to do with the OWP application? should i cancel it? or just let it finish?
2. If i don't cancel my OWP application will it have negative effect on my ICT application e.g. delaying my ICT application as the visa office will be confused on why i have 2 work permit applications in parallel?

Since my OWP application is on the last stage, i believe i cannot get a refund anymore
But my priority is the ICT application, so if I need to cancel the OWP application then I will do that but only if it is really needed. If it will not negatively affect my ICT application then i will just let it finish.

Thank you
