Did you apply online? People who applied on paper seem to be waiting insanely long if they're from Ontario.

Wow. They must like you, lol. Have you served in the army, police, or emergency services or anything like that? Maybe they take that + a clear criminal and medical record as an indication that it's safe for you to have guns? idk

I have never been an employee for any government entity. But I do have spotless criminal and medical records.
