temporary visa extension for IT worker

[domurtag]

Hi,

I´ve been working in IT in Montreal for about 9 months. I have a 1-year temporary work visa which is due to expire in mid-May. I´m applying to Quebec immigration for this visa to be extended by 9 months, under the specific procedure for IT workers described here:
http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.c ... edure.html

I´m concerned that this application might not be approved before my current visa has expired, and would be grateful if anyone else who has used this procedure could tell me how long it takes?

Thanks in advance,
Don
