from CIC about BOWP:
Applicants applying for a BOWP must include a copy of their Acknowledgment of receipt - Application for permanent residence letter with their open work permit application.

Note: Foreign nationals in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are eligible for a BOWP only if they have provided a copy of the nomination letter issued by the nominating province or territory along with their application and there is no indication that employment restrictions exist as conditions of the nomination.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

at this question
Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?

You have to answer here with " Yes "
and it means that they have found your application complete
and that you have got your AOR

and in the case that you are not eligible:
closed WP based on R204(c) exemption with a support letter from your province
