There is an early release of osap starting augst 25th I believe. On the mcmaster website go to the student financial aid page and it will tell you the exact room and times. As well, you need to make sure that you bring all the required Id or they will not give u your osap. (Student ID card, government issued photo id, social insurance card, and your banking information). It is very important you bring banking information as that is how you receive your osap. The day you go and "pick it up" is more of just signing forms. From that day it will take about 10 more days for you to actually receive the osap in your bank. And that also depends on if you have any additional osap. When you pick it up they will write down the ammount that is being issued to cover the costs of your tuition. After that if you have any extra they will put it in your bank.
As for the QEII - you have not yet been issued any because you have not picked up your osap. When you go they will use whatever amount of QEII you were given towards your tuition. If on the osap website it says you are getting 100$ than you will see that when you pick up your osap.
When you go to pick it up they are very good at explaining how everything works - just make sure to ask lots of questions if something doesnt seem right because they do often mess up.
