I am also preparing for BOWP. Would anybody know whether I would need original of my latest work permit for BOWP online application, or may CIC ask for it after I apply?

Original WP is not required, although is advisable to include a copy of it in your Explanation Letter.
Please read the previous threads on this matter before asking any questions.. it will help you a lot...
here is a link to it, again: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2013/ob485A.asp

It is not required to send a copy of WP. But when filling IMM 5710 you will be asked to provide number of most recent immigration document where you need to put the number of your WP.

No need to for Work Permit or explanation letter or copy of AOR. The first and the third are already in front of the CIC officers on their screen and you don't have to explain anything. Just fill in what is on the offline or online checklist.
