Congrats on getting the nomination.
From what I have seen, everyone got theirs the same as yours, valid for regular stream. Unless they apply under the express entry stream from the beginning.
From here, you have 6 months to end in your application packet to CIC. After they receive it, your CIC processing time starts, and presently it is 16 months. It was 15 months until recently but it has gone up now.
I would say, gather all the documents and forms, and send in your application as soon as possible.
Here are the links for the CIC processing, tha applications etc:

Hi Everyone! I finally got my nomination after more than 2 years of waiting (submitted July 2014)! The nomination is only valid for paper based nomination and not for express entry. Is that really the case for applications received in 2014? Has anyone received a nomination that is valid for express entry?
How long is the timeline for CIC paper based application?
