First of all, 35,000 miles will get you ELITE not SUPER ELITE. You need 100,000 miles for Super Elite.
If you reach 35,000 by the end of this month you'll receive Elite status almost right away and it will last until Feb 28, 2007.
NOTE: The miles you receive for status MUST be miles earned from revenue flights that are not TANGO fares. You can't earn status just by merely buying things with your credit card and earning simple aeroplan miles. The key to getting status is to physically fly on the correct fares.
