entirely dependent on where you live, miramichi prints them out very promptly in my exp, its up to canada post to do its thing, major urban city gets them the fastest, rural area not so much

Ok. And are they keeping up?

u/NoStepOnBESTGUNNIT schizoposting Jun 29 '22

they are keeping up for the past month or so, however given the shear amount, expect to hear their printers breaking down

I live in a city in BC so I'm surprised I haven't gotten it yet. My last restricted took like 2 weeks to get it IIRC.

Is it worth nagging the CFO, or just keep waiting it out?

u/NoStepOnBESTGUNNIT schizoposting Jun 29 '22

is it approved? if it is there is no point in asking them

if its not approved, they are also swamped with transfers and your transfer wont be expedited anyways
