I recommend using the cfo extension and talking to them. Called the firearms program 2 weeks ago, and they were very vague. They told me they had machine issues and that they thought it was mailed out. Called the Alberta CFO extension yesterday, and they informed me that it was mailed out on febuary 19th....

I would. Just from my experience, it was a lot clearer as to where my card is. And using The CFO extension was the only way my call wouldn't be dropped for some reason.
