We're you tracking the progress at all through the online portal? And if so what did the different stages say?

At first I was only checking on MyCFP where you put the application in. Status never changed from "application successfully submitted" (still says that)

It wasn't until Dec 28 that I found out that there was the seperate RCMP IWS portal that shows a little more info that said my "app was submitted and license was issued" "if not received within 2 weeks, call CFP" (still says that)

Called twice after that to get info about when it was printed and mailed
