Thank you for being someone that replies like I would if I were in BC. I had seen this comment before and felt bad that I couldn’t express my frustration since I am in ON.

Seriously, why are some applications super fast and others not? Only thing about me that some paranoid CFO might “flag” is that I am currently unemployed, which is not something that worries me personally. I wonder what they look at and if that has something to do with it.

Otherwise sparkling clean profile. I don’t get it.

Still I’m at “only” 45 days, so less than you but still, there are other people getting theirs in 30 and in my mind 2 weeks is a really long “buffer” time.

Especially it being online. Makes no sense, our profile doesn’t have to get digitized.

Seriously just want to get on with it. What a hassle. Can’t imagine taking months to get a driver’s license. Why is this any different?

I'm an unemployed highschool student and submitted mine in early February by mail and I got mine a week ago. I'm not sure why some people's are getting held so much

edit: I am also in BC
