I changed my address in March 2022 (over the phone) and when I check the CFO/RCMP online portal it is updated. However I have yet to receive a new card in the mail, it has been 4 months now. Is this a normal time window? I am aware of the backlog of applications and transfers. But is this affecting cards going out as well?

You don't get a new card when you change your address.
