Hi guys!

I've got a couple of question, would be great if I get answers to all of them but any piece of information will be much appreciated!

I came to Montreal as a Working Holiday Visa Holder (1 year visa) and my visa expires on 30th January 2018. I'm going to take IELTS exam in September and then as soon as I get the results I'm going to apply for CSQ. With IELTS exam passed well enough I should have 52 points whereas 50 points is the threshold to apply. Here are my questions:

1. How long does it take from the day of sending the CSQ application until I receive it?
2. I also got a contract in a marketing company valid to 1st December 2017. However, the employer hasalready informed me that when my current contract expires(1st December 2017) he will offer me a new one for 12 months from December 2017 to December 2018. With this offer of employment, can I apply for extension my working holiday visa or work permit?
3. Do you have any other suggestions on what steps I can make to stay in Canada after my visa expires? I'd love to stay here and I'm looking for every opportunity to stay.

Thanks a lot in advance!
