It takes about 3 weeks. My application was submitted by HR on 24th Jan 2013, was issued by Ministry of Labor on 11 Feb 2013, HR of the company sent me scanned copy on 14 Feb 2013.
HR was very keen that I submit all docs attested by my country's Foreign Office and local Qatar Embassy. This took me a while to get though.
