You will get the OWP when you get 1st stage approval. Currently that is taking 11-12 months. (working on applications received on January 15, 2011)

No, if you have already received first stage approval, it will not take that long to get your OWP. Not sure, though, how long it will take. My best guess would be 30-40 days based on this chart, but it doesn't specify Open Work Permit as opposed to a renewal of an existing work permit.
