Inland application: work permit when?

[Kahisys]

Greetings.

After months of work on gathering paperworks and funds, I was finally able to send my application for common-law sponsorship inland.
As such, I'm waiting to get a specific paper to be able to apply for a Work Permit, but I don't know what that paper is supposed to be.

Yesterday, I received an email from CIC stating the following:
"This is an automated system-generated letter to acknowledge the receipt of your application. Your application has been assigned the unique file number indicated at the top of this letter. All your correspondence with this office should refer to that unique file number."

Is it the paper I'm expecting? Or is it something else?

Kahysis, you could have applied for them at the same time (Inland Spousal application and OWP application). Now you will have to apply for OWP on its own. The processing time for OWP is 3-4 months. Good luck.

Well to be fair I don't think I could've had the fees needed at the time.

Either way, does this mean I can already start applying for it?

Okay that is different, I meant if you had the means to you could have.

Yes, you can do so now the total fee is CAD$255.00.

Well then, that's going to relieve our finances sooner than expected.

Thanks a lot for your help!
