I applied for non-restricted for hunting, applied end of February, they requested a second signed picture for the application and sent that in end of May… when is this process likely to be completed? Trying to Hunt in September

Yeah the wait times are terrible, I thought I would have had my license already 😅 trying to upgrade jobs over here lol

They’re very picky about the picture’s apparently 😅

Did you send a passport photo? Because they have a different size requirement.
