It will be close. The ban will come in the fall at some points and applications are taking up to 6 months depending which province

Dude I think that’s pushing it now. Almost 6 months and nothing? Call in and check if all the paperwork is there and if anything’s missing and just ask for an approximate time.

Mine was received a couple weeks ago, and I’m probably not gonna get my card until Nov-Dec 2022.

I know they’re working on back log, and they’re trying their best, but there’s gotta be some sort of a solution.
