Had your status expired when you applied for PR? If so you have to wait for AIP for the work permit, not the normal 4 months.

AIP usually comes towards the end of the process. Everyone's timeline is different but average is maybe 10-11 months after applying. You'll probably be PR before your OWP is processed in this case.
