I guess it depends on where your location is. It took 4 days for me to receive by mail. I am at Toronto.

^ It's hard to predict - delivery standards are available on the Canada Post website, but permits are not necessarily posted on the same day that they are issued.

Yikes. I wonder what the basis for the "16 days" processing time estimate on the site is, then. Anyone else?

16 days is the norm.
Mine's got a problem when the officer handling our application mistakenly entered my son's passport data twice.

Basically you can't.
The rule says you can apply if you are on a work permit that is due to expire within four months. If the WP has expired and you're on a visitor visa I believe you can't apply for a BOWP.
