How long for "urgent" PR Card renewal?

In May I applied to renew my PR Card for an employment reason (the urgent application says that is a reason). The application was recorded as "received" one week after I sent it, which indeed seemed urgent.

However, it's now been more than two months since I sent it, and nothing has moved. The status is awaiting a decision (I phoned today), no interview is necessary, etc.

Does anyone know how long it takes to have a PR Card renewed "urgently"?

There is no set time. It is quite possible that they have decided your case does not qualify for urgent processing. What was the specific reason?

Temporary work in France (less than a year) requires a visa but French consulate won't let me apply with an expired PR card. I supplied urgency proof that was a letter from my current employer (temporary relocation) as well as a letter from the company in France accepting me. Indeed, I phoned IC and found out that "proof of urgency" was missing in my application, yet it seems arbitrary. I re-submitted the proof via a web form, following the phone agent's advice. He said plane tickets weren't required as proof in all cases, but that the agent decides.
