I just passed the PADI Open Water Dive course, I sent the certification form to Bristol headquarter last week, when will I get the certification card?
In the spring and summer, it can take 6 to 8 weeks to have the card processed.
Upon completing the course, you should have received a temporary card. That card is good for 90 days (about 12 weeks). If you haven’t seen your card after about 60 days (8 weeks), I’d call PADI at 1-800-SAY-PADI.

Just to add to Doug’s answer, since you sent the cert envelope to PADI International in the UK, the telephone number for general enquiries is +44-117-300-7234.
Whoever answers will be able to put you through to the student certifications department. Have the temporary card to hand if you need to call, because it will be easier to track down your records if you can tell them where you were certified (dive centre name/number), and who certified you (instructor name/number).
Congratulations on completing the course, BTW–now the fun really starts…
