My application was received in February. And the rcmp site keeps saying they have completed the initial review. Any idea on how much longer it’ll take?

Varies by province. 4-6 months seem to be the most common timeline being posted though. Also your application won't show up on the site until your CC is charged.

It seems to be about 1 month after charging if there are no complications. Did you have to answer Yes to any of the Personal History questions? Probably try to call and see if there is any issue. They seem to be super slow to work on fixing problems and it's best to be a little proactive.
