CC charged Nov 6th still showing "We have completed the intial review", in Alberta so it's taking a little bit for sure if anyone is wondering. Mailed in not online (had no idea you could do it online insturctors are still giving paper applications to mail in no mention of online from my experiance)

The Alberta CFO office is fairly responsive. Call (keep trying, it can be tough to get through). You can ask for the status and if you need to do anything. Recently reported timelines for Alberta indicate yours is taking a little longer than usual. Maybe you missed a signature, or something like that.
