My application is taking a bit longer but so far I'm noticing typically of us Ontarians' applications have been taking 3-6 months if they answered no to all of question 16. Probably going be a bit longer now with the fallout of Monday's announcement.

Oh nice man, great that you actually got it. I remember that your instructor sat on your results for a bit before sending them in. I was wondering if they approved yours yet.

Sadly that time I said that may do a ban like a week before or after I get the license might actually happen 🤣🤣🤣. No calls or updates from them - aside from just wait when I tried contacting them.

Thank man, Hopefully you will get it soon… and that Beretta(i guess you were eyeing a beretta) will be yours before fall. if it helps, i tried reaching CFP at around 3 pm and was able to get through last week. So call them around that time…

Thanks for the heads up. And hopefully, if not I'll be disappointed but c'est la vie. As much as it would suck I got to see the humor in the situation.
