BOWP

I hope you do know that BOWP is for those who have applied for PR and got their AOR.
It is better to apply within the last 4 months of your WP expiry, if it is expiring 30th Sept, apply after June 1st.
The processing time depends on the time of you application, I usually prefer online application as it is usually a bit faster and easier to apply and track.
You will get BOWP after the application is processed and not after your current WP expiry.
Good luck.

BOWP will be issued as soon as your application is processed. Apply when you are within four months of expiry of your current valid work permit.

First of all, this forum has a search function. If you would've made use of that, you would've found a lot
of information about the bridged open work permit.
However, check here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2013/ob485A.asp
if you are eligible at all.
If you are, you can apply. It takes about 15-20 days for applications submitted online to get approved. And
the work permit is valid from the day it has been issued.

Correct, You will become eligible on May 4th, that is, if you meet the rest of the eligibility criteria.
