Application received mid year 2022.

Credit card charged mid October 2022

Still waiting on license, site says completed initial review. Ontario resident. Called multiple times, says its delayed with the province. Can't get through to CFO when transferred through the rcmp phone line, it rings a few times then disconnects.

Call back multiple times in the same window (I called 3 times within 2 minutes for it to put me in the queue) and you may get through. That was how my experience was on about the 10th time calling. Sent mine late Nov. Received early Dec. CC charged late December. Approved and license issued Jan 9th or 10th. Received in the mail yesterday.

issued Jan 9th or 10th. Received in the mail yesterday.

Seems like some of us that sent it in during this time and had our CC charged in October are getting skipped over for some reason..

I Emailed the CFOO and they replied back with a canned answer after a week or so.
