Yep, you wait for another few months (depending on your province) until "your license has been issued".

Can calling them, emailing saying you're ready for them to speak to your references etc speed it up at all? Also to the original commenter, if you're in Ontario, you could be waiting until next year lul

It can't hurt to email them, they're pretty responsive to email in my experience. When did you submit your paperwork?

I wasn't even showing up on the system until like a week ago, I think I'll give them a little more time and then just give them a nudge by letting them know that my references are available to call or something.
