Just had an email from QC CFO regarding the ETA for my two transfers (dated 13 th and 14th of june respectively) as I will be out of the country for a few weeks starting mid august.

[Translated] : "We would have like to give you an ETA, but due to a high number of applications we doubt that they will be processed before you leave (16th of june), they will likely be processed after you come back (mid-september).

To me it seems that QC CFO is way behind other provinces...

I wish everyone good luck with their transfers, this is getting ridiculous, and I so tired of this I'm considering getting a complaint with the ombudsman over the processing time. Not accelerate my transfer but to send a message.

This is clearly not okay, I'm tired of it and want to voice my frustration. What do you folks think?

Oh, and I'm not even talking about the challenge of calling the CFO for a transfer, or whatnot. Took me 10 days of trying daily to finally reach someone...

I’ve been checking this thread since I put my order in on June 6th. Qc is by far the slowest.
