From AB

Sent my application on March 27th and my credit card was charged at the end of June. No e-mail, letter, call or any communication between the moment when I sent it and the moment when my credit card was charged.

You can expect to see a charge on your credit card by the end of the month. If not, then I’d try to give them a call.

Recently it was about 3 months from when they receive it until your CC is charged and your status information appears online. So you probably have another couple of weeks of waiting unfortunately. Just monitor your CC.

Thanks! I appreciate you guys.

This is a really crap experience. This should be 100% digital with an option of paper.

Crazy how gov threat us. We are 100% in the 90’s for this process.

It will take a while, post pandemic process time has been 3 months for wait and 1 month after its process. May take even longer now since everyone the has been getting longer it seems.
