PAL:

Received 15 March.

CC charged 10 June.

Been at Initial Review Complete since then. What should I do? As the name says, I’m in the Yukon.

Call the actual CFO (regular CFP 1800 number, extension 9530 for BC & Yukon) every month or so for an update, it might just end up sitting on someones desk and not being approved like my mom's did, we called and the woman said, "oh yea it's just sitting on my coworkers desk, they haven't gotten around to it yet" she pulled up the application, asked a couple of questions and approved it on the spot.

Yukon shares CFO with BC. My card was charged July 5th and I’m the same in the same boat in BC. I managed to get on the phone with bc cfo and after offering to answer any questions or provide information she simply said they’re still in the background process. I asked if there’s any kind of timeline, she said at least a couple months. Pretty disheartening. Good luck
