Congratulations on the BOWP. Definitely, it is a relief that you can have the health card.I didn't get the negative side though. The processing of BOWP is almost independent of processing of PR. So, no matter they process your BOWP or not, the SS is in progress.
You don't need to ask for the BOWP timeline. BOWP is processed almost on a FIFO base. as
@rajahoomi application, they are currently working on the files that they received on Feb 14th. you can check the processing of BOWP here:

It always has a 2-3 week lag though. If you see the link, the last update was May the 5th and they were working on the files on Jan 26th. Using this link you can guesstimate when you are going to receive BOWP.
About the email. It is an automatic email that you will receive every month that there is no movement on your file. You are going to receive on May 26th as well. Since you applied 6 weeks after
@rajahoomi, You are going to receive your BOWP in 6-7 weeks.
BOWP is always issued for one year or the expiry of the passport.
