ALBERTA - LMO processing time

Hi..

I am a norwegian citizen. I had a 2 year work permit in Canada issued around may 2007, but in the fall 2007 I went back home due to certain circumstances. This was in Manitoba.

2 days ago, I received a phone call from a company in Alberta that asked if I was interested in a job. I said yes, but told them that i would need a new LMO since its a new employer in another province.

I am a pilot, and the high season for those companies starts around may/june to october/november.

I have tried to find processing times, and all I can fin is scary long waiting times.

Does anyone know if its even worth applying when my employer would need me before may/june with the current LMO processing times in Alberta??
