Same with the e-mail/on-line status. I guess it will be on the hardcopy, for how long is the BOWP, right? Thanks and congrats!

The BOWP will be valid for 12 months.

BOWP is issued for 1 year or to the passport expire date (if it shorter than 1 year). Don't forget to renew your passport if it's going to expire soon (not relevant if you already submitted your application).
 
Thank you guys for your answers. Well, pretty soon the lawyers will have no job because of this forum :)
And I guess, I don´t need to go across the border to receive the work permit. It just comes by mail. Right? Thank you!

Exactly, the work permit will be mailed to you and does not require you leaving the country to activate it.
However, if you need a TRV, then you can apply for it when you receive the BOWP.

I have applied under cec, so option for question 8 should be NO?? Please help.

Check the current processing times and add a couple of days for shipping. That should give you an idea.

thats great buddy...is that calendar days or working days my friend?
 
I applied for mine on May 10th (which was a Saturday, by the way...) and got the positive answer on May 21. So, 11 calendar days. Hard copy received on May 26th.

Good luck to everyone!
 
I am confused when I read about BOWP. Generally for how a BOWP is issued?
